A difficult situation for Manchester City and its coach before meeting Arsenal…
The fear of player injury is a specter that haunts all clubs, especially those that always strive to be at full strength to continue the race towards titles. During the recent international break, the specter of injuries visited Manchester City, with two of its key players injured.
The England national team duo, John Stones and Kyle Walker, suffered injuries in the England national team’s matches against Belgium and Brazil, respectively.
Some press reports indicated that Pep Guardiola, the coach of Manchester City, had asked his players to claim injuries so that they would not participate with the England national team, especially since the matches were friendly.
But according to the report published by the English newspaper “Daily Mail”, the absence of Stones and Walker continued until Thursday morning, and they missed Manchester City’s training in preparation for the upcoming Arsenal match.
The report stated that the duo’s participation in the match has not yet been determined, due to injuries, although reports indicate that Walker’s injury will be severe and may keep him out of the field for a longer period than Stones.
It is worth noting that Manchester City is preparing to face Arsenal next Sunday evening in the 30th round of the English Premier League, at Etihad Stadium.
