Manchester City Manager Pep Guardiola broke down in tears as another 4 Key Manchester City player who is suppose to be the main man against Sheffield United, a very sad moment for Pep Guardiola as the injury seems to be a career ending injuries
Guardiola has already admitted that four players will miss Manchester City’s match against Sheffield United.
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has revealed that four players will miss Saturday’s Premier League match against Sheffield United.
The 52-year-old announced the news during a press conference earlier in the day on Friday.
So, what did Pep Guardiola have to say? Let us have a look…
Pep Guardiola has confirmed the absence of four Manchester City players.
The Citizens should have enough firepower to beat the Blades, who are now bottom of the Premier League with nine points, albeit they will be missing Erling Haaland, Jeremy Doku, Kevin De Bruyne, and now John Stones.
The Manchester Evening News quotes Guardiola as saying, “Nothing changed from the last game.” We have the same injured players (Haaland, Doku, and De Bruyne), as well as John Stones.”
In the case of members of the foursome, the term “injured” is used lightly.
De Bruyne, Doku, and Haaland have already been seen back in training, even taking part in FIFA Club World Cup sessions in Saudi Arabia, sometimes with teammates, sometimes alone, indicating that the trio are just not match fit yet.
Stones, on the other hand, is unable to train after leaving Goodison Park in a protective boot after injuring his ankle.
Manchester City will be without John Stones in their match against Sheffield United.
Of course, Guardiola would welcome the return of De Bruyne, Haaland, and Doku, but the Spaniard may be most angry about losing Stones.
Nobody else at Manchester City is as capable of playing the hybrid midfield role as the England international.
Manuel Akanji attempted, but failed, to do so.
Stones has to play as an attacking midfielder, defensive midfielder, and centre defender depending on where the ball is, with his athleticism and calmness crucial alongside Rodri.
When Guardiola and his other three superstars return to Manchester City, the rest of the Premier League will be in big trouble.
