Jérémy Doku to miss start of season due to injury

Manchester City winger Jérémy Doku is expected to miss the start of the Premier League season due to injury. The Belgian international was substituted during halftime in Manchester City's Community Shield match against Arsenal.

Reports indicate that Doku has sustained a calf injury, though some sources suggest the issue may be linked to a lingering ankle injury sustained during the 2026 World Cup. He is expected to be sidelined for several weeks, meaning he will miss the club's upcoming league opener against Bournemouth.
