Manchester City have been dealt a huge setback ahead of their FA Cup Final showdown with Crystal Palace, as the club’s best player has officially been ruled out of Saturday’s match. Renowned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed the news earlier today, sending shockwaves through the City camp.

The identity of the sidelined star has not been formally disclosed in the press conference, but it’s understood to be one of Pep Guardiola’s most influential figures — a player pivotal to City’s system and attacking rhythm. The late injury blow has created a serious selection dilemma for Guardiola as he prepares for one of the season’s biggest fixtures.

“It’s a huge headache for Pep Guardiola,” Fabrizio admitted during his update, noting the timing couldn’t be worse as City chase a domestic double.

For Crystal Palace, the news comes as a major boost. The Eagles, already dreaming of their first-ever FA Cup trophy, now find themselves with a golden opportunity to make history. With City weakened by the absence of their star man, Roy Hodgson’s side will fancy their chances of producing a famous upset at Wembley.

The FA Cup Final, one of English football’s most historic showpieces, now promises even more intrigue as the underdogs sense a shift in momentum.
