Manchester City needs to gear up for the second half of the season

Manchester City will need all hands on deck in the second half of the season. January is a calm month and an opportunity for Pep Guardiola's team to recharge. The season resumes next month, with City facing FC Copenhagen in the second round of the UEFA Champions League. It will need the complete City squad to defend their treble from last season. 

With Kevin De Bruyne in the Manchester City squad this weekend, the only injured players are John Stones, Jeremy Doku, and Erling Haaland. Based on Pep Guardiola's recent updates, it appears like the trio will all be returning sooner rather than later. After Pep Guardiola's team made history in 2023, they'll need all hands on deck to try to duplicate their feats in the following weeks and months. The injured City players look to be on the verge of returning and ready to recreate history.
