Destiny Udogie Injuries

'Destiny has a problem and can't play tomorrow. So, it's not a big problem. I hope Destiny will be available next week at Villa Park. It's a muscular injury, not so important. He didn't play for a long time, and it can happen at the beginning...' 'Udogie can be available, yes. I don't know if that’s the beginning of the game or the second half, but he's available, yes.'

'We will assess him tomorrow. So, of course, I will probably see you [media] guys in two days' time or less, and then we'll know more. We'll assess him tomorrow.' 'Unfortunately, Destiny has a hamstring injury; he is out for the next four to five weeks.' 'Destiny is almost back... Yeah, for sure [Forest].' 'Destiny and Lucas (Bergvall) will be on the bench tomorrow - one part of the game - not too much because they just started training with us, but it's good to see them.'

'Destiny got an injury, unfortunately.' 'Destiny, as I said after the [Brentford] game, picked up a hamstring injury at the end of the Newcastle game, so he’s out until January, unfortunately.' 'He is running out there on the pitch, doing individual sessions, so progressing and going forward, so that's good.' 'He's training, and he's looking better, so that's positive.' 'Both of them are getting closer. Destiny, a bit closer than Dom (Solanke), obviously, because he's only been out for five weeks(ish). So that's, of course, less than six months - both are positive and improving.' 'Both Destiny (Udogie) and Dom (Solanke) are close to finishing a good week of training, so they are a bit closer. Both will be involved and are closer to playing even more minutes, so that's positive.'

'He came back from international duty with a minor irritation in the knee, so that just keeps him out for this game.' 'The latest is that he got that knee irritation after the international duty. We are assessing and working very hard to get on top of it. We'll know more probably, day by day, or in the next week.' 'Destiny is not on the grass yet, but still progressing, again, not a longer one.' 'Destiny is on the pitch today as well. So, three steps forward.' 'The positive is that (Cristian) Romero, Destiny (Udogie) and Wilson (Odobert) will all be available for the squad.'

'Destiny felt something in the warm-up, so, again, just a precaution. We just want to be on top of that.' 'Destiny got a knee injury [in the warm-up at Luton on Saturday] that we’re assessing at the moment, that has kept him out of this pre-season tour.' 'Destiny is closer and getting closer to training with the group.' 'Destiny is progressing, but it's too early for him to be involved in the squad.' 'Destiny is better, he's trained with the team twice, full training, but just too short to be involved at City. We want him to train tomorrow and have another good week next week. We're very positive about him.' 'Yes, he could feature, he's in the squad and that's very positive for us.'

'He just got cramp. He was unbelievable today. I thought it was incredible the amount of running he did. His effectiveness. It was incredible. He was just cramping up. He will be fine.'

'I think it's a hamstring. Again, like I said, we've been relying on a core group of players because we just haven't had the ability to rotate, so at some point, it was going to catch up with us. Unfortunately, it caught up with Destiny.' 'Destiny, with his hamstring, looks around the six-week mark.' 'They are all kind of around the same time - around 10 days. We are talking about Vicario, (Brennan) Johnson, Destiny (Udogie), Wilson (Odobert), and Timo (Werner).' 'Of the longer-term [injuries], Destiny is back in team training as well, which is good. He’s ticked all the boxes in terms of getting through his rehab and conditioning, so he’s part of the squad.'

'We'll see how he is. He felt a bit tight in his quad. To be fair, he wanted to continue, but we can't take any risks. I don't think it's anything significant at this stage and more precautionary.' 'Destiny, no injury, but he's still a bit sore from the game. Not ruling him out but we'll see how he is with the turnaround.'

'We'll see how he is. He felt something in his quad when he made that run, but he did see out the half.' 'Sonny and Destiny are back in London. They're working away, but they're not available for this one.' 'Of the guys who stayed back... Destiny, we think, will be okay. We train today and tomorrow, so he has to get through that.'

'Destiny was a bit sore. Tiredness in both hamstrings and calves. He was really fatigued last week as well, and we're trying to build up his minutes.'

'The most significant, was losing Destiny in this period. A bit disappointing for him and us; he's such an important player. So, unfortunately, picking up an injury means the end of his season.' 'A disappointing one for Destiny. He's been a big part of our year. It was an unfortunate incident in training. He's had the operation; it's gone well, so hopefully, that gives him time to come pre-season to get back into it. We will miss him.' 'Hopefully, Destiny comes back into it in the next few days, so that’s positive.' 'Destiny is back training with us.' 'Destiny will get some game time tomorrow.'

'Destiny, in last week's game, obviously jarred his knee. Don't think it's anything too serious, but he'll miss tomorrow. Hopefully, with no game next week, that's all he'll miss...' 'In terms of coming back in, Destiny has a chance for tomorrow. He's trained. We'll just see how he's pulled up.'

'Destiny is fine. He is available. He's had a good couple of weeks.'

'Destiny, we're going to look at and assess; it's a short turnaround, so we'll see how he does today and make a decision tomorrow.' 'We'll see how progresses. Obviously, he's still got a few days before the Monday game. He's progressing through it - we'll assess him closer to it.'

'I think he just kicked the ground from what I understand. He didn't want to come off. Just speaking to him now, he's fine.'
