Manchester City travel to the Arctic Circle to face Norwegian champions Bodø/Glimt this Tuesday, January 20, 2026, for a Matchday 7 fixture in the Champions League.
The Cityzens currently sit in 4th place in the overall standings with 13 points and are aiming for a top-eight finish to secure direct qualification for the round of 16. Despite their strong European standing, Pep Guardiola is navigating a major injury crisis. The team is without defensive mainstays Ruben Dias, John Stones, and Josko Gvardiol, while Mateo Kovacic, Savinho, and Oscar Bobb also remain sidelined. Furthermore, captain Bernardo Silva is out due to suspension.
In a positive turn, Phil Foden has traveled with the squad and is expected to play with protection on a broken hand suffered in the recent Manchester derby. Erling Haaland also returns to his homeland, eager to end a recent lean run of form in front of a Norwegian crowd.
Bodø/Glimt
Bodø/Glimt, led by Kjetil Knutsen, are searching for their first-ever victory in the Champions League league phase. The “Superlaget” currently occupy 32nd place with only three points from six games and are on the brink of elimination.
The hosts may benefit from being fresher than their opponents, as their domestic Eliteserien season concluded in November, leaving them in a period of off-season preparation. However, they will be without defender Haitam Aleesami due to a hamstring injury and Jostein Gundersen, who is serving a suspension. Playing on an unfamiliar astroturf pitch in sub-zero temperatures at the Aspmyra Stadion, Bodø/Glimt will hope their unique home advantage can help them secure a historic result.
