Left out against Porto
O'Reilly (back) was not included in Manchester City's 22-man travelling squad for Tuesday's Champions League clash against Porto.
Analysis: O'Reilly picked up the back issue during the warmup before Saturday's 1-0 win over Coventry City and was subsequently withdrawn from the starting lineup, with Enzo Fernandez taking his place. Although coach Enzo Maresca indicated that the injury was not expected to be serious, the quick turnaround has proved too short for O'Reilly to return. Fernandez is expected to start in midfield against Porto, while Josko Gvardiol should retain the left-back role in O'Reilly's absence.
Back injury not expected to be serious
O'Reilly missed Saturday's 1-0 win over Coventry City due to a back injury, but manager Enzo Maresca said in the post-game conference that the injury isn't expected to be serious, according to Sam Lee of The Athletic.
Analysis: O'Reilly was injured in the warm-ups before Saturday's game, pushing Enzo Fernandez to the starting lineup. O'Reilly should be considered as questionable to face Porto on Tuesday in the UEFA Champions League opener, but it wouldn't be surprising if he's held out of that match due to the quick turnaround.
