City’s Injuries and Return Dates vs. Wolves…

Manchester City hits the ground running in the 2025/26 Premier League season with a Saturday showdown against Wolves at Molineux. After ending in third place last season and losing their crown to Liverpool, who began their journey by karate kicking Bournemouth 4-2, City aims to get back on top. However, some star players are riding the injury bench instead of the team bus. With Savinho down from a summer Palermo misstep, his comeback isn’t expected until mid-September—probably when people start thinking footballs hatch from eggs.

Meanwhile, the Croatian duo, Gvardiol and Kovacic, are missing in action due to mysterious injuries. Guardiola revealed they’d sit out the Wolves match, which is sure to cause more mystery than how socks always disappear in dryers. On the Achillean front lines, Kovacic faces a drawn-out recovery, still hobbling since last season’s FA Cup final against Crystal Palace. He’ll be back when doctors figure out how to donate new heel tendons, but the return date remains as mysterious as the Bermuda Triangle.
