injury list

City's extensive injury list, which includes those key players, has severely impacted their campaign and thrust their lack of squad depth into question.

Meanwhile, despite a growing injury list, City only signed four players in January, one of which was 20-year-old midfielder Aemu Oyama and allowed England international Chloe Kelly to join Arsenal on loan.

Defender Ali Riley, who made just three starts last season, and forward Jun Endo, who missed last season entirely after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in her left knee during the preseason, are both on the season-ending injury list.

While Joey Bosa restructured his contract in 2024 to take a pay cut, the edge rusher’s hefty $36.4-million cap hit, his diminishing performance and growing injury list make it unlikely he would return.

The Red Devils once again struggled, although Amorim is having to contend with a 12-man injury list that led to him having to fill his bench with youngsters.
