Manchester City’s returning hero is in line to play against Ipswich Town

The return of Ilkay Gundogan to Manchester City has dominated today’s headlines. It is a special moment to see the German international return to the club. Now it appears that Manchester City’s returning hero will be in line to play tomorrow against Ipswich Town at the Etihad.

Daily Mail reporter Jack Gaughan has reported via X that Ilkay Gundogan has received international clearance ahead of tomorrow’s game. This means that Manchester City’s returning hero is now in line to feature in tomorrow’s game.

Speaking during his pre-game press conference ahead of tomorrow’s clash with Ipswich Town, Pep Guardiola said if Gundogan had to play tomorrow, he knows what is required to play for Manchester City. Guardiola also said he expects Gundogan to be at his best during his second spell at the club. He told the media: “Yeah. He has not come here to retire, or remember the good memories, now it’s time to get your shoes on, and play your best! The chance to come back to, if we would like it, and we said yes, immediately. I love midfield players, I love Gundogan’s qualities, he gives an incredible alternative in the way we want to play, adapts to two or three roles perfectly. He doesn’t need time to settle. Tomorrow, if he has to play, OK, he knows everything!”

It promises to be a special moment when Ilkay Gundogan returns to the pitch at the Etihad Stadium. Now it appears that the moment could arrive tomorrow against Ipswich Town. Whether or not he starts tomorrow’s match will be something to watch for when the starting lineups are announced tomorrow.
