Manchester City do not have any fixtures for eight days, but there is still plenty to keep an eye on as the weekend approaches.
Manchester City could make an approach for Vincent Kompany
According to Sky Sports Germany, Man City are likely to consider Vincent Kompany for their managerial role if Pep Guardiola calls it a day at the end of the season.
Bayern Munich are aware of City’s interest in their former captain, but there is no plan to allow him to depart.
After all, Kompany recently extended his contract, meaning it will not expire for another three years. On top of this, multiple players at the Bundesliga side have extended their own contracts because of the Belgian.
John Stones may miss England’s friendly against Uruguay
John Stones is an injury doubt for England’s Friday night fixture against Uruguay, according to Craig Hope.
Thomas Tuchel’s side were seen training at Wembley Stadium yesterday and Stones was reported to be experiencing a calf problem.
The 31-year-old has already missed much of this season due to a thigh injury, so this is another huge blow, especially with the World Cup just months away.
Gianluigi Donnarumma keeps a clean sheet for Italy
Gianluigi Donnarumma stood tall as Italy defeated Northern Ireland 2-0, keeping a clean sheet during the match in Bergamo.
However, the Italian only actually had to make once save across the 90 minutes, while he prevented 0.11 goals. Still, Donnarumma did make nine recoveries, so it was not like he was static all night long.
He was not the only Man City player on international duty, with Rayan Cherki included in France’s squad to face Brazil. Unfortunately, the winger failed to make an appearance off the bench.
