'No chance' — Man City boss Guardiola rules out three key players for Southampton clash
Pep Guardiola provided injury updates on his squad ahead of their Premier League match against Southampton this weekend.
The champions thumped Sparta Prague 5-0 in midweek and will be full of confidence ahead of this weekend's clash. However, Guardiola will have to navigate without some crucial players.
Kevin De Bruyne, Kyle Walker, Jeremy Doku, and Jack Grealish will all miss the game due to injuries.
De Bruyne has been out for seven games with a groin injury he sustained in the Champions League clash against Inter Milan last month.
Walker has missed the last two games with a knee issue, while Doku and Grealish have minor knocks.
PEP 💬 (On whether Kevin De Bruyne and Kyle Walker will be fit for Southampton) No. Not yet. I don't know [how long Kevin will be out for].

When asked about De Bruyne and Walker's availability, Guardiola simply said, "No, not yet." Regarding Doku and Grealish, he bluntly replied, "No."
City remain the only unbeaten side in the Premier League this season and will hope to continue that run.
