The end ofl Manchester City Savinho and the defender Manuel Akanji They joined the team’s long injury list yesterday after yesterday’s 2-1 Carabao Cup defeat against Tottenham Hotspur and the coach Pep Guardiola explained that he only has 13 players available on his roster.
Savinho was stretchered off in the 62nd minute with an apparent ankle injury, while Akanji did not start the match with a muscle problem during the warm-up. It should be noted that City are already without key players such as Kevin De Bruyne, Rodri and Kyle Walker, while Oscar Bobb, Jeremy Doku and Jack Grealish have also been missed recently.
“We have 13 players (available), so we are in real difficulties. The boys who are playing, the majority end up with problems and we will see how they recover,” a dejected Guardiola told reporters. “I think we are in trouble, because in nine years we have never been in a situation with so many injuries. I hope Savinho’s situation is not serious, but we’ll see… Akanji yesterday, I don’t know, in the last action he felt something in the muscular part of his body and now in the warm-up he did something bad.
City lead the Premier League by one point at Liverpool and the next game is against Bournemouth on Saturday.
