Nico Gonzalez Injury: Status for Sunday undetermined

Gonzalez (calf) is questionable for Sunday's match against Chelsea, according to manager Pep Guardiola. "In this period, to have two games away is so demanding. You know, Christmas times always happen, and it has been a tough two games at Nottingham Forest and [at Sunderland], so yeah, we have to see. I will talk with the doctors, with the physios, and we will see."

Gonzalez was taken off at halftime Thursday due to a potential injury, and his status is still up in the air, with the midfielder's health not clearly noted. This is a major question mark for Sunday's match, as following the return of Rodri, both will be questionable to see the start in the anchor role for the club. If he is unable to play, Rodri is unlikely to receive a full 90 minutes, with Rico Lewis potentially seeing some time in the midfield role.
