The technician of City of Manchester, Pep Guardiolasays his team is “in trouble” now then Bernard Silva He joins the team’s long list of injuries. The Portuguese, who signed a one-year extension last month that will keep him at City until 2026, was forced off yesterday before half-time in City’s 3-1 home win over Red Star Belgrade in their first match in Champions League.
City are without key players such as Kevin De Bruyne, John Stones, Jack Grealish and Mateo Kovacic due to injuries. “He (Silva) didn’t say anything to me at the end and I didn’t speak to the doctors, but it seems that in the next games he won’t be able to play.”
The Premier League leaders host Nottingham Forest on Saturday and will be looking to make it six wins from six, but Guardiola is concerned about the impact of having so many key players out at the same time. “We have a problem, but I’m not going to say, ‘Oh, we have a lot of injuries,'” he told reporters. “When we have five important players – really important players – injured, maintaining that situation for a long time will be difficult. But it is what it is.”
