Pep Guardiola is having an unprecedented season. Accustomed to fighting at the top of the Premier League since his arrival at Manchester City, the double winner of the Champions League with FC Barcelona is experiencing a nightmarish exercise at the head of the English team. Sixth in the league, the residents of the Etihad Stadium are not even guaranteed to compete in the play-offs for the Big Ears Cup next February.
The situation in which the reigning English champion finds himself could perhaps be explained by an avalanche of injuries. Faced with this phenomenon, the winter transfer window could be an opportunity to strengthen the 53-year-old tactician’s squad. At a press conference, however, he did not say that this month of January would be synonymous with shopping for his team: “ I don’t know at the moment. It’s not easy, and it won’t be. Maybe we’ll hire someone, maybe we won’t. The club must be careful. In our current situation, with several players regularly injured, if the club can add reinforcements, they must do so. But I don’t know if it will be possible. »
