Marmoush to miss Manchester derby with knee injuryImage source,qual a melhor maneira de ganhar na lotofácil Getty ImagesImage caption, Omar Marmoush made his international debut for Egypt in October 2021ByTimothy AbrahamBBC Sport journalistPublished9 September 2025268 CommentsUpdated 10 September 2025Manchester City will be without Omar Marmoush for Sunday's Manchester derby after the Egypt forward suffered a knee injury on international duty.The 26-year-old was substituted in the ninth minute of his country's World Cup qualifier with Burkina Faso - which finished as a goalless draw - in Ouagadougou on Tuesday.Marmoush, who joined City from Eintracht Frankfurt for ￡59m in January, was hurt following a robust fourth-minute challenge.City said initial scans in Egypt indicated Marmoush would miss Manchester United's visit to Etihad Stadium on Sunday (16:30 BST).The club confirmed Marmoush "will now return to Manchester for more assessment and to begin his rehabilitation".Marmoush initially played on after receiving treatment on the field, but was replaced by Osama Faisal shortly afterwards.He has scored eight goals in 28 appearances for City.City boss Pep Guardiola could be short of options in attack, given summer signing Rayan Cherki is currently sidelined with a hamstring injury and England attacking midfielder Phil Foden missed the defeat by Brighton before the international break.

As a Liverpool fan, I absolutely dread these International games. I spend most of the time checking when/whether our players have been subbed and in what minute of the game.Reply10911Show comment linksJComment by john at 11:16 10 Sepjohn11:16 10 Septo VC"If it’s an impact injury, then hopefully for him and City it won’t be too bad.

The club game doesn't stop for the 6 nations. Rather they use those weeks to play up and coming players. The result is younger players get game time and international players don't get burnt out. I appreciate that, especially in the EPL, money comes first so the clubs won't want to play without their best players but if everyone is in the same boat...Reply153Show comment linksOComment by okokok at 17:44 10 Sepokokok17:44 10 Septo Windy M"Another option would be to do what rugby does.
