Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has provided an update on the injury status of three key players – Nathan Ake, Kyle Walker, and John Stones. The trio suffered setbacks during the Premier League clash against Arsenal, which ended in a frustrating 0-0 draw for Guardiola’s side.
Ake, who was forced off in the first half with what appeared to be a calf injury, was replaced by Rico Lewis during the match. Meanwhile, Walker and Stones had already been nursing injuries sustained while on international duty with England.
In a post-match interview with Sky Sports, Guardiola acknowledged the challenges his team is facing on the injury front. “It is what it is,” he remarked. “Ake played two games this week, including with the national team in Holland. John will recover soon, I believe. Kyle’s recovery will take longer, and now Nathan’s return to action will also be delayed.”
The setbacks come at a crucial time for Manchester City, as they aim to maintain their position at the top of the Premier League table. Guardiola’s updates on the injured trio will be closely monitored by fans and pundits alike as the team navigates through a busy schedule of fixtures.
Stay tuned for more updates on the recovery process of Ake, Walker, and Stones as Manchester City continues their campaign in the Premier League and other competitions.
