Manchester City Manager Pep Guardiola broke down in tears as Three Key Manchester City player goes off injured during International break last night, a very sad moment for Manchester City fans as the injury seems to be a career ending injury
John Stones got hurt during the first half of England’s friendly against Belgium at Wembley on Tuesday night and had to leave the game.
The defender was seen with his right leg up after making a few passes in the first ten minutes of the game. Man City plays Arsenal on Sunday in a very important Premier League title match.
Not only does this worry Pep Guardiola going into the weekend, but Kyle Walker was also taken off in England’s loss to Brazil on Saturday. The full back’s injury isn’t thought to be too bad, but Kevin De Bruyne and Jack Grealish haven’t reported for international duty because of problems, though both are expected to be fine for the weekend. Also, Manuel Akanji has pulled out of Switzerland’s game against Ireland, so City has a lot of questions about the fitness of key players.
Losing Stones would be a big blow because the centre back has been hurt a lot this season. The 29-year-old is very important to both his club and his country.
City’s players are coming back to the club on Thursday, one day before their game against Arsenal. Guardiola will then look at his team to see how they are doing. Guardiola joked with his players this week that he would “come after them” if they got hurt. This comes after telling them in public to be careful with their workload because City has a busy schedule coming up.
