Man CityBags assist
Marmoush assisted once to go with two shots (zero on goal), six crosses (zero accurate) and five corners in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus West Ham United. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 11th minute.
Analysis: Marmoush would find an assist Saturday on the club's only goal of the match, finding Bernardo Silva in the 31st minute. This is his third assist of the season, with one only two league games ago. He has three assists compared to his one goal this season, a rare sight for the forward who is usually a clinical goal scorer.
Four shots, no goal
Marmoush had four shots (one on goal) in Saturday's 1-0 victory over Leeds United.
Analysis: Marmoush would earn four shots Saturday but was unable to bag a goal in consecutive games, only seeing one of his shots hit the target. However, he does have nine shots in the past two gams, showing a decent output. The club may have to turn to him more over the next few games, with Erling Haaland (undisclosed) feared to be missing time, so it does bring solid confidence that he is finding some decent success already.
Earns assist
Marmoush assisted once to go with five shots (two on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 2-1 win against Newcastle United.
Analysis: Marmoush was handed a starting role Saturday and did not waste his chance, linking up with Nico O'Reilly for a 14th-minute goal. This is his second assist of the season and is now up to three goal contributions in 15 appearances. This is the second straight start for the forward, as he has started to see more time lately, with five starts since Jan. 24, only seeing two before that this campaign.
Scores opener
Marmoush scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-0 win against Wolverhampton.
Analysis: Marmoush opened the scoring against Wolverhampton on Saturday, turning in a Matheus Nunes cross with a deft finish in the first half, and could have added to his tally after attempting two shots, creating one key pass and delivering one cross. The forward took advantage of Erling Haaland's fatigue to earn a start and showcased his qualities, even though his role remains primarily that of a substitute amid strong competition in attack.
Available after duty
Marmoush is back available for Tuesday's Champions League clash against Glimt after ending his international duty with Egypt at the AFCON, the club posted.
Analysis: Marmoush is in the squad list for Tuesday's Champions League clash against Glimt after ending his international duty at the AFCON with Egypt. The forward is an option moving forward for the Citizens and is expected to see a decent playing time in upcoming weeks since coach Pep Guardiola said in pressers that Erling Haaland was tired and needed some rest. This will allow Marmoush to see more playing time as the backup of the Norway international.
Serving at AFCON
Marmoush is not available for the time being as he serves with Egypt at AFCON.
Analysis: Marmoush is one of numerous players taking time away from their club to take part in AFCON, set to represent Egypt over the next few weeks. This leaves his return up in the air, as it will depend on their elimination from the competition. Luckily for the club, he is more of a rotational option, only starting in three of his 14 appearances while bagging an assist.
Bags goal in Carabao Cup
Marmoush scored one goal on five shots in Wednesday's 3-1 win over Swansea City.
Analysis: Marmoush would earn his first full-length appearance Wednesday since his return from injury, as the forward would play the 90 after earning the start, helping his team to a win with his 77th-minute goal. He will now focus on earning his starting role back after ending the last campaign in that role and beginning this season with two starts in three appearances, although it is a spot he will have to earn back after the absence. With seven goals in 16 appearances last season, he has enjoyed his time in the league, likely to find a spot on the left side of the attack over Jeremy Doku and Savinho when fit.
Appears from bench
Marmoush appeared for four minutes off the bench in Tuesday's 2-0 win over Villarreal.
Analysis: Marmoush would take the field with his club for the first time since returning form injury, last seeing the field with City before the September international break. He would appear off the bench in a minor spot, only gettign four minutes of action and not recording a single significant stat while on the field. He will now look to earn more time moving forward and add to his goal contribution tally, as he is still wothout a goal despite starting in two of their first three games of the season, likely to compete for time in a starting role with Jeremy Doku, Savinho and Oscar Bobb for a spot in the attack and on the flank now that he is fit.
On bench against Everton
Marmoush (knee) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Everton.
Analysis: Marmoush is back from his knee injury and takes a spot on the bench for Saturday's match against Everton. He trained with the team on Thursday and is close to full fitness. The Citizens could look to ease him back into action given his expected role in the squad moving forward.
Nearing return
Marmoush (knee) trained on Thursday and is nearing a return, coach Pep Guardiola said in the press conference. "Omar trained yesterday and is much better. He's close to being back."
Analysis: Marmoush is very close from making his comeback from injury after training with the team on Thursday. The Egyptian suffered a knee injury and could make his comeback in Saturday's clash against Everton. This is good news for the Citizens since he should hold a decent role moving forward.
Could return after break
Marmoush (knee) could return after the October international break, manager Pep Guardiola revealed in Tuesday's press conference before facing Monaco in the Champions League. "Hopefully after Brentford we will have many players back - hopefully Omar [Marmoush] will be back."
Analysis: Marmoush suffered an injury with Egypt during the September international break, and while he won't be an option to face Brentford on Sunday, it sounds as if he might be able to return after the break. Marmoush has been limited to three appearances (two starts) in league play this season, tallying five shots (two on target), two chances created and two crosses.
Out several weeks
Marmoush (knee) is out for several weeks to recover from his injury, coach Pep Guardiola said in the press conference. "Omar [Marmoush] is injured from Egypt. A few weeks I think [he will be out]. Before the [next] international break he will be ready."
Analysis: Marmoush suffered a knee injury while on international duty with Egypt and is now set to miss several weeks to recover from the issue. The forward will likely aim a return at the beginning of next month right before the next international break. Until then, Phil Foden and Jeremy Doku are expected to see increased playing time in the frontline for the Citizens.
Ruled out Sunday
Marmoush (knee) is ruled out for Sunday's derby against Manchester United, the club announced.
Analysis: Marmoush suffered a knee ligament bruise in Tuesday's game against Burkina Faso, and initial scan results in Egypt indicate he will not be available for the Manchester derby on Sunday. He will now return to Manchester for further assessment and to begin his rehabilitation. This is a big blow for Manchester City since he is a regular starter in the frontline, and his absence will lead to a change in the starting XI with Jeremy Doku or Phil Foden as possible replacements until he returns.
Arrives in Egypt on crutches
Marmoush has arrived in Cairo to undergo scans for the knee injury he suffered in Tuesday's clash against Burkina Faso, while being seen on crutches and wearing a splint, according to Ismael Mahmoud from WinWinAllSports.
Analysis: Marmoush suffered a knee ligament bruise in Tuesday's game against Burkina Faso and reports indicated it would be only a minor injury, with scans scheduled for Wednesday morning in the Egypt capital. That said, Marmoush was spotted arriving on crutches with a splint on his knee, which suggests the injury might be more serious than expected. The scans will reveal the precise extent of the injury, but if the forward has to be sidelined, it would be a big blow for Manchester City right ahead of Sunday's derby and the start of the Champions League next week. That said, if Marmoush has to miss time, Phil Foden and Jeremy Doku will be the options to replace him in the frontline for the Citizens.
Suffers knee ligament bruise
Marmoush has suffered a knee ligament bruise in Tuesday's clash against Burkina Faso and will undergo scans on Wednesday morning upon his arrival in Cairo, Egypt's team doctor Mohamed Abou El-Ela said to the media, according to Ismael Mahmoud from WinWinAllSports.
Analysis: Marmoush was forced off in the 10th minute of Tuesday's clash against Burkina Faso following a heavy challenge that caused a knee ligament bruise. The injury is expected to be minor according to reports, but he will undergo scans on Wednesday morning in Cairo to determine the extent of the issue. That said, if the forward has to miss the derby on Sunday, Phil Foden and Jeremy Doku could be possible replacements in the frontline against the Red Devils.
Off with knee injury
Marmoush was forced off 10 minutes into Tuesday's match against Burkina Faso due to an apparent knee injury, according to City Xtra.
Analysis: Marmoush was forced to leave the field Tuesday as Egypt played a World Cup qualifier, suffering what appeared to be a knee injury after a rough tackle. The good news is that initial reports have said the injury is minor, although he will need further testing. He has started in the club's past two games, so they will want to monitor this, with Phil Foden or Jeremy Doku as possible replacements.
