The manager’s words

“Jérémy, I think he needs some more days.”

City’s accompanying report explicitly says Doku will miss the derby while recovering from his calf problem.

The surrounding report makes this firmer than a vague delay. He is unavailable for this fixture.

Arrange cover or a replacement if needed for GW4. Delay a new purchase.
