While Manchester City is preparing his confrontation against Real Madrid, an unexpected event caught the attention of the Spanish media. Abdukodir Khusanov, a young 20 -year -old Uzbek defender, was filmed arriving at the team hotel at 12:40 am. A delay that raised questions and worries about his condition, some fearing a more serious problem.
Khusanov, a late arrival that worries
Finally, more fear than harm. According to the Spanish media, it was a visa problem that delayed his arrival, explaining his absence from the main group during the trip. After hours of uncertainty, Khusanov was able to reach the team without incident and appeared in good shape at the time of his recording at the hotel.
Recruited for 33 million euros in January from the RC Lens, Khusanov is still in the adaptation phase under the orders of Pep Guardiola. If he has not yet played a European match with the Citizens, he recently experienced his second tenure in the Premier League during the brilliant 4-0 victory against Newcastle.
An incident without consequences?
This administrative setback should not disrupt the preparation of Manchester City, but it highlights the adaptation difficulties that young international recruits may encounter. In any case, Guardiola will be able to count on a whole group for the shock against Real Madrid, even if Khusanov should not appear in the starting eleven.
An anecdotal situation, but which will have been talked about in Madrid before this burning quarter -final.
