Out for Manchester derby
Gonzalez (undisclosed) is ruled out for Saturday's derby against Manchester United.
ANALYSIS
Gonzalez is ruled out of Saturday's Manchester derby after failing to recover fully from an undisclosed injury. Although he returned to training Friday, he does not pass late fitness testing after missing the previous match and the midweek FA Cup fixture due to a knock. His absence is unlikely to impact much the starting XI since Rodri is the undisputed starter in the defensive midfield when fit and available.
