Don't go now, Pep! Latest Man City project is just starting to click and Guardiola needs to see how far he can take it

Carabao Cup final hero O'Reilly scored two goals on two shots in Sunday's 2-0 Carabao Cup win over Arsenal.

Impact O'Reilly would lead City to a Carabao Cup title Sunday as he had a great game just a few days following his birthday, scoring a brace in the contest. He would score in the 60th and 64th minutes on the club's only two shots on target in the entire contest, coming despite starting in a left-back role. Whether in the midfield or defense, the homegrown talent has been a major boost to the squad this campaign, playing for the badge with pride as he continues to show immense talent.

Four shots, no goal O'Reilly had four shots (one on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 1-1 draw against West Ham United.

Impact O'Reilly returned to his midfield role after a disaster on Wednesday in UCL play, notching four shots from his spot but not converting a goal. He will likely remain in this role moving forward and will hope for a better day in their next UCL contest, needing a big game from the midfielder to pull off the comeback.

Starts at left-back O'Reilly generated one shot (one on goal) in Wednesday's 3-0 defeat to Real Madrid.

Impact O'Reilly would start in UCL action against Real Madrid but is once again out of the midfield, playing at left-back as he did to begin the season. However, it was not his best match, constantly getting caught out too far up, eventually leading to Mardid's opener. He will likely hope to return his midfield role again in coming games, looking much better from that role.

Gets 90 in Cup win O'Reilly started and went 90 minutes in Saturday's FA Cup win against Newcastle. He finished with one shot on goal and one tackle won.

Impact O'Reilly missed one game with an ankle knock and was immediately back in the XI, going 90 in the FA Cup. He's rarely been held out this season, starting eight straight league and UCL contests before the ankle injury. He's expected to continue in his midfield role that has produced at least one shot on goal in four straight matches. Meanwhile, Rayan Ait-Nouri has been featuring at left-back where O'Reilly was playing until late January.

Starting Saturday O'Reilly (ankle) is in the starting XI for Saturday's FA Cup clash against Newcastle United.

Impact O'Reilly returns to the starting lineup against Newcastle United after dealing with the ankle knock he picked up against Leeds United. The midfielder has been a regular starter this season, featuring both in central midfield and occasionally at left-back, and his return to the XI comes at a good time for Manchester City with the Champions League clash against Real Madrid approaching.

Impact O'Reilly is trending in the right direction after the ankle knock he picked up against Leeds United and will be a late fitness test ahead of Saturday's FA Cup showdown with Newcastle United. Manchester City will be hoping he gets the green light, as he has been a regular starter this season whether in central midfield or filling in at left-back. If he isn't fully up to speed yet, Phil Foden could see an uptick in minutes operating through the middle.

Remains out O'Reilly (ankle) is out for Wednesday's match against Nottingham Forest.

Impact O'Reilly is still not an option after it appeared he failed some testing, with the defender out after being a late call. They now have a big Cup match coming this weekend, facing Newcastle, hoping to regain one of their key midfield pieces with O'Reilly being close to playing Wednesday.

Impact O'Reilly was forced off in the last clash against Leeds United after taking a knock to his ankle, but the midfielder has not been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup with Nottingham Forest and will be evaluated following Tuesday's final training session. He has been a steady presence in the Citizens' starting XI this season, logging regular minutes at both left-back and in central midfield, underscoring his tactical versatility. If he is unable to go, coach Pep Guardiola will need to reshuffle the lineup, with Tijjani Reijnders or Phil Foden positioned as the most likely candidates to step into the midfield role.

Deemed ankle knock O'Reilly has been confirmed to have suffered a knock to his ankle, according to manager Pep Guardiola. "Yeah, he had a knock in the ankle and played on and was out."

Impact O'Reilly looks to only be dealing with some minor injuries after Saturday's early exit from their 1-0 win over Leeds United, deemed an ankle knock for the midfielder. However, this will still be something to monitor with the busy weeks ahead, not wanting to rush back a starter and lose him longer. He has been a breakout player in the league with his versatility and masterful passing into the final third, adding a few goals himself. That said, they will hope he can be an option in one of the two games in the next week and be ready to face Real Madrid on March 11, with Tijjani Reijnders and Phil Foden as possible replacements.

Man City hit with new injury blow after Erling Haaland ruled out as key player forced off during edgy win at Leeds

Forced off Saturday O'Reilly was limping due to an apparent physical issue and was later unable to continue in Saturday's 1-0 win over Leeds United, Sam Lee of The Athletic reports.

Impact O'Reilly has been very active since moving to a midfield role in late January, and his potential absence would leave the Citizens without a versatile option. However, the extent of the issue is unknown, and he'll likely need to be assessed over the next week. Tijjani Reijnders and a more offensive-minded Phil Foden will be the main alternatives to take O'Reilly's place in the lineup if the injury is significant.

Nets brace O'Reilly scored two goals to go with two shots (two on goal) and one cross (one accurate) in Saturday's 2-1 win over Newcastle United.

Impact O'Reilly had himself a special night Saturday, as he would score his first league brace after a goal in the 14th and 27th minute, nearly making it a hat trick at one point. This gives him three goals in their past two league games, with the midfielder catching form since his advanced role. He's up to four goals this season, also adding three assists in his 26 appearances.
