Present at a press conference this Friday, his coach Pep Guardiola gave more news about one of his major players. And these aren’t very good. The Spanish technician announced the end of the season for his playmaker.
“ He had surgery this morning, his season is over, he will be back for the next one,” he told journalists. A real blow for the Citizens who will not be able to count on their launching pad this season.
Who to replace him in front of the defense?
It’s now official. A real hub for Manchester City for several seasons, Rodri will return during the next exercise because of a knee injury. The Spaniard will leave a big void on the field.
Who will he be replaced by in Pep Guardiola’s starting 11? Croatian Matteo Kovacic could take advantage of the Spaniard’s long absence to join the Skyblues’ starting 11. He could partner Gundogan in front of the defense. First elements of response this weekend during the 6th day of the Premier League against Newcastle and in the Champions League against Slovan Bratislava.
