Jakarta –
Manchester City have been hit by a hurricane of injuries, as well as a busy schedule. Pep Guardiola said that nobody cares about the conditions of the players.
Manchester City lost several players due to injuries at the start of the 2020/2021 season. Sergio Agüero, Gabriel Jesus, Oleksandar Zinchenko, Bernardo Silva and Joao Cancelo continue to recover.
Meanwhile, Aymeric Laporte and Ilkay Guendogan have not played so far after testing positive for COVID-19. Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola admits that he has only 13 older players who are fit for the home game against Leicester City on Sunday (9/27/2020) tonight, WIB continued in the Premier League.
The injury only made Guardiola feel even more dizzy. Because from today until the end of October, they have to go through a total of eight games in all competitions.
Players faced enormous physical burdens in that period. In addition, some players also have to defend the national team in October.
This situation worries Guardiola, given that the players have a short summer break. The delay of the 2019/2020 season has made the holidays and the preseason so short, while after that there is a busy schedule waiting.
“Nobody cares about the players. It is about business. The reality is like that. It is not just about Manchester City, it is about all clubs and countries. Nobody cares about the players,” Guardiola said. BBC.
“Everyone, Premier League, UEFA, EFL, have maintained their business and their position. The players have two weeks of preseason and now they have to play every three days for 11 months. We are not going to change anything by saying otherwise.”
“I understand that this is an extraordinary situation for everyone, restaurants, theaters, cinemas, museums. Everyone is fighting, we are not the exception. We have to believe in what we are doing and try to make a good game.”
“We have three players that came back injured from the national team. We cannot control that. They let these players appear in two games in four days without preparation. They are not machines,” he continued.
