Manchester City claimed a 5-2 win over Crystal Palace in an exciting clash at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

Despite Palace taking a surprising 2-0 lead with goals from Eberechi Eze and Chris Richards, City managed to pull even by halftime through efforts from Kevin De Bruyne and Omar Marmoush.

City sealed a dramatic comeback thanks to second-half goals by James McAtee, Nico O’Reilly, and Mateo Kovacic, pushing them back into the Premier League’s top four.

However, the victory may have come at a cost, as Ederson had to exit the game with an injury. Here is the latest on the squad’s fitness status.

**Phil Foden – Injury: Unknown**

Foden missed the Palace fixture due to a knock sustained in the Manchester Derby, which led to him limping down the tunnel.

Guardiola mentioned that Foden couldn’t recover in time for Palace, describing the issue as a “knock,” suggesting it shouldn’t be a long-term concern.

**Erling Haaland – Injury: Ankle**

Following his substitution in the FA Cup quarterfinal versus Bournemouth, Haaland was assessed by the club. Although no specific return date was provided, City remain hopeful he’ll feature again this season.

“Manchester City FC can confirm that Erling Haaland has sustained an injury to his left ankle,” read a statement from the club. The Norwegian picked up the injury during the FA Cup quarter-final victory at AFC Bournemouth on Sunday.

After initial tests in Manchester, Haaland will now seek further expert opinions to determine the full severity of the problem. Evaluations are ongoing to establish a complete recovery timeline. He is expected to return before the season ends and also be available for the FIFA Club World Cup this summer.

“Erling’s recovery is being wished for by all members of the club.”

Estimated return date: Unknown

**Nathan Ake – Injury: Foot**

Ake was forced off at halftime during the FA Cup fifth-round match against Plymouth due to injury. It’s the latest in a string of fitness issues that have affected both him and City’s backline this season. After undergoing surgery for a foot issue, Guardiola confirmed he’d be out for roughly 11 weeks.

“They estimated that it would take ten to eleven weeks.” “When it is surgery, it is a serious matter, and something went wrong,” Guardiola stated of Ake. “He encountered numerous challenges this season due to his foot issues, and they ultimately manifested.”

Projected return: Sunday, May 18, against Bournemouth (H)

**Rodri – Injury: ACL**

Rodri continues working on his recovery. Ahead of the FA Cup win over Plymouth, Guardiola suggested a return might be possible. The midfielder was spotted doing light drills on the Etihad turf.

Although he has resumed solo sessions at the CFA, a return before the season’s end is unlikely, despite Rodri’s personal drive and Guardiola’s earlier remarks. His participation may instead line up with the Club World Cup in June.

Estimated return: May or June
