Community Shield: Guardiola to be without four key players against Man Utd

Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, is set to be without four key players for Saturday’s Community Shield game against Manchester United.

They are Rodri, Kyle Walker, John Stones and Phil Foden.

According to City Xtra, the quartet is not expected to return to training until next week.

Rodri, Walker, Stones and Foden all played in the Euro 2024 final and were given time off.

However, Kevin De Bruyne is back in training and could be involved against United, as Guardiola’s men seek to kick off the season with silverware.

City lost the 2023 Community Shield fixture to Arsenal via penalties.
