The Manchester City striker excluded for two months, replaced by Hugo Ekitike in France Squad
Manchester City striker Rayan Cherki was excluded for two months with a torn quad.
Cherki was excluded from the city team while they collapsed on Sunday to a second successive defeat, the men of Pep Guardiola leaving an advance of 1-0 slide in a 2-1 defeat against Brighton and Hove Albion.
And Guardiola confirmed during his post-match press conference that City would be without Cherki for an extended period, the national team of France revealing the nature of the injury when they announced their withdrawal from their team for the next qualifications of the Blues World Cup.
Cherki will be replaced in the team of Didier Deschamps by the Liverpool striker, Hugo Ekitike, who took an impressive life in Anfield after his move by Eintracht Frankfurt.
France will face Ukraine and Iceland as they start their campaign to book a place in the World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico next year.
What Cherki games will he miss?
Cherki scored during his first leg for the Wolves and presented the city’s 2-0 defeat against Tottenham after joining City de Lyon before the club World Cup.
An absence of two months would prevent Cherki from certain extremely important lights.
Here are the lights that will be missing if this time scale is correct:
- Manchester United (H)
- OLOP (H)
- Arsenal (A)
- Burnley (H)
- Monaco (A)
- Brentford (A)
- Everton (H)
- Villarreal (A)

In addition, it is also set up at the Miss City EFL Cup tie with Huddersfield Town, the date of which is still to be confirmed.
