# Manchester City: Fans react as Sterling injury update emerges ahead of Tottenham

**Reacting to the latest news on Raheem Sterling and his fitness from the Daily Mail, via [Man City Xtra](https://twitter.com/City_Xtra/status/1328444237277433861), some Man City fans have had their say over what is seemingly good news for the Sky Blues and Pep Guardiola ahead of their international return against Tottenham Hotspur.**

Sterling, who was out of action for England on international duty, could now return in time to face Spurs in north London – with the attacker reportedly back and available for selection ahead of the clash.

The 25-year-old, finishing last campaign as the Sky Blues’ top scorer with [31 goals in all competitions](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/raheem-sterling/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/134425), has impressed recently – but these City supporters still believe it’s bad news for him to feature against Tottenham.

One fan even claimed his return is the ‘[worst news](https://twitter.com/famznocap/status/1328445201220825089?s=21)‘, especially considering the potential selection dilemma facing Guardiola with Ferran Torres in fine form and Gabriel Jesus back in the forward position.

Find all of their somewhat questionable verdicts down below.
