“It’s over for us, Arsenal will win the league”- HUGE BLOW as Pep Guardiola has stated that Manchester City’s amazing superstar has suffered a HUGE injury damage after critically damaging his ankle in their Champions League match last night
Arsenal will win the league, thus it’s finished for us.- HUGE BLOW: According to Pep Guardiola, Manchester City’s incredible superstar has suffered a HUGE blow after badly injuring his ankle during yesterday night’s Champions League game. Both the player and Kevin De Bruyne are anticipated to miss Arsenal’s game the following month.
As Pep Guardiola’s absence list grows, the Portuguese international was forced off early against Red Star Belgrade.
As a crucial matchup with Arsenal looms, Bernardo Silva is destined to miss Manchester City’s next three games.
During Tuesday’s 3-1 Champions League comeback victory over Red Star Belgrade in Group G, the Portuguese playmaker, who extended his contract until 2026 over the summer, was forced off just before halftime.
As he trudged off to be replaced by summer signing Jeremy Doku, Silva, 29, looked visibly disappointed. Holders City had responded to Osman Bukari’s shocking opening goal for the Serbian giants with a second-half Julian Alvarez brace and Rodri’s stylish strike to begin their title defence with a commanding home victory.
Pep Guardiola, the manager of City, stated during Tuesday’s European debut at the Etihad Stadium that he thought Silva will miss the “next games” due to an undisclosed injury. Last season’s Treble champions were scheduled to visit Nottingham Forest in the Premier League on Saturday.
Following journeys to Wolves and RB Leipzig, a crucial top-flight match with title rivals Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on October 8 follows before the second international break of the season. They then travel to Newcastle in the third round of the Carabao Cup.
Guardiola told reporters, “He [Silva] didn’t say anything at the end.” I didn’t speak with the doctors, but it appears that he won’t be able to play in the upcoming games.
Kevin De Bruyne will likely miss the remainder of the year due to a major hamstring problem that requires surgery, despite City’s ominous 100% start to the new season, which has seen them win all six games across all competitions.
Since the Community Shield defeat to Arsenal at Wembley in August, Guardiola has also been missing England defender John Stones, while midfielders Jack Grealish and Mateo Kovacic have recently been injured as well.
The manager continued, “When we have five vital players – really, very important players – injured, to sustain that for a long time will be difficult. However, it is what it is.
“We don’t have enough money set aside for salary and transfers to support 55 players. The clubs would be in disarray, and they would go bankrupt. It occurs occasionally.
