Pep Guardiola He must change half of his starting defense in this Tuesday’s Champions League premiere in Seville (9:00 pm). Manchester City traveled without John Stones neither Kyle Walker, have muscle problems.
“They’re hurting. John wasn’t hurt too much. Kyle wasn’t too hurt either, but I don’t know if he’ll be ready for Saturday (against Tottenham), or the Dortmund (Wednesday of next week) or the wolverhampton before the international break”, said Pep about the central defender and the winger, both injured in the last Premier match against Aston Villa (1-1).
still recovering Laporte from the knee surgery he underwent at the end of last season, Aké or Akanji maybe the companions Ruben Dias on the rear axle. Aké played in the first two Premier games as a starter against West Ham and Bournemouth -also completing 90 minutes-, while Akanji, new arrivals in Manchester from Borussia Dortmund, It hasn’t debuted yet.
As for the replacement of Kyle Walker, Guardiola can put João Cancelo on the right side -the Portuguese usually play on the left with a modified leg-, so that the Spanish Sergio Gomez move to the left back to where he first started. However, if there is an unpredictable coach, it is Pep and any solution can be expected to rebuild the defence.
What seems more clear is who will build on 4-3-3 from the ‘Sky Blues’ from midfield forward, with Rodri, De Bruyne and Gündogan in midfield and Haaland, Foden and Bernardo Silva as the attacking trio.
