Before games against West Ham and in the Champions League, Pep Guardiola confirms a triple injury blow to Manchester City.
Three first-team players will be absent for Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola’s team when they take on West Ham in the Premier League this weekend, he has confirmed.
With a perfect winning record after the first four games of the 2023–24 season, the English top-flight champions resume play after the first international break of the new season.
Up until this point in the season, Manchester City has triumphed over Burnley, Newcastle United, Sheffield United, and Fulham.
This Saturday afternoon, they will travel to West Ham in an effort to keep their winning streak alive.
Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, has confirmed that three members of his first-team lineup will be absent.
Guardiola himself has since recovered from emergency back surgery.
Speaking to the media on Friday afternoon, Guardiola revealed that three players—Jack Grealish, John Stones, and Mateo Kovacic—will not be traveling with Manchester City to the London Stadium because of individual injury issues.
Both John Stones and Jack Grealish have been missing from the England national team roster for the past two weeks, as Pep Guardiola noted, “Both injured for tomorrow.”.
I don’t know for Red Star for Belgrade in the UEFA Champions League, he continued.
By steps. Jack (Grealish) has a muscular injury, but his knee took an incredible knock, and there is damage.
Although John (Stones) is doing better, he still has problems.”.
Mateo Kovacic missed Croatia’s two international games during the European Championship qualifying process, and Pep Guardiola confirmed this when asked about Mateo Kovacic.
However, he reassured that the issue is not serious and that Mateo Kovacic will be fine.
Also muscular is something. Not a big deal, but tomorrow is also off,” the Catalan coach explained.
This story is still developing.
I’ll say more later.
