Following Wednesday’s 2-1 League Cup loss to Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester City’s winger Savinho and defender Manuel Akanji were added to the team’s long list of injured players. This leaves manager Pep Guardiola with 13 players available in his squad. In the 62nd minute, Savinho was removed on a stretcher with what appeared to be an ankle injury, and Akanji did not begin the game because of a muscle problem during the warm-up.
In addition to Oscar Bobb, Jeremy Doku, and Jack Grealish missing recent games, City is already without important players Kevin De Bruyne, Rodri, and Kyle Walker. “With only 13 players available, we are having a lot of trouble. Guardiola told reporters, “We’ll see how they recover. The guys that play finish most of them with problems.”
Pep Guardiola says Manchester City are ‘in real difficulty.’
“The players finish most of them with issues, and we’ll see how they bounce back.” The players, in my opinion, take a step forward and are more united than ever when we are in trouble, as we are because this situation with numerous injuries for numerous reasons has never occurred in nine years. They will attempt to complete this week’s tasks in the limited time they have.
“You must succeed in order to continue. And it’s fantastic for the entire group that it was against such a strong opponent. This team and this collection of players are still improving, in my opinion. I want children to experience these times because I understand how crucial it is to hasten their progress.
