In the match that took place on Sunday evening, Doku started ahead of Jack Grealish and had a lot of success against the risky tactics that Tottenham employed. After the halfway break, however, his impact began to decline, and he was eventually substituted at the 52-minute mark.
As Grealish took his place on the field, the 21-year-old player hobbled off the field and appeared to be in a state of despondency. Wednesday is the second of three games that City will play in a week over the hectic holiday season. The match will take place at Villa Park.
“Pep doesn’t mess around, and he isn’t happy with what Jack is producing,” it was said by Roy Keane before the game that Doku was unstoppable. Keane made this statement before the game. A different kind of player who is in good shape is [Doku], who is in good shape.
Due to the fact that both Rodri and Grealish were shown a fifth yellow card during their match against Tottenham, it is possible that Doku may be placed on the bench for Wednesday’s match. At the hour mark, it was determined that Grealish had kicked the ball away, so preventing a free-kick from being taken. This occurred after Rodri was disciplined for bringing Pedro Porro down during the counterattack.
Jamie Carragher, who was providing commentary at the Etihad Stadium, voiced his concern that City will come up against a challenging opponent without the two players who are currently suspended. He was cited as saying, “You know how difficult of a game Aston Villa is even with a full team, now Rodri and Jack Grealish are out.” These words were taken from the statement.
