Pep Guardiola, Manchester City’s manager, openly acknowledged the challenges his team faces as the list of injured players continues to grow.
Manchester City’s manager, Pep Guardiola had this to say;
He (Silva) didn’t say anything at the end,” Guardiola said. “I didn’t speak with the doctors, but apparently, for the next games, he won’t be able to play. We are in trouble but I am not going to say, ‘Oh, we have a lot of injuries. When we have five important players, really, really important players injured, to sustain that for a long time will be difficult. But it is what it is.
