When it was revealed that Nathan Ake might be sidelined for more than a month, Pep Guardiola became irate over the need for yet another international break.
The manager of Manchester City believes the back won’t be fit to play again until after the next international break because he injured his hamstring while playing for the Netherlands. During the Germany match in the UEFA Nations League, Ake felt agony and was carried off the pitch immediately. Tests in Manchester later revealed that the apparent painful injury was actually a serious one.
Guardiola is not one to relinquish control, even when clubs allow their players to represent their countries. Because he claimed that Ake’s circumstance was common, he was particularly enraged by it. “He is injured.” It appears that it will continue till the following international vacation.
Phil Foden and Savinho returned to training during the international break, which was beneficial for City. Concurrently, Rodri, Jack Grealish, and John Stones had increases in playing time with their respective national teams, which aided in their return to consistency. In three weeks, the Blues will play seven games, including opening matches in the Carabao Cup and Champions League. They will require all members of their team.
“The season opener is this coming weekend. “We used to have one preseason game every week, which allowed us to practice and refresh our memories,” he remarked. As of right moment, the return is. We’ll be observing our behaviour as well as the players’ progress.
