Josko Gvardiol, the young defender who plays for Manchester City, recently received some treatment after their defeat against Tottenham. But, he seems to have quickly put that behind him and is now fully focused on their upcoming game on Saturday. This should come as a relief to fans who were worried about a potential injury that he may have picked up during the match.
The game against Tottenham was a tough one for Manchester City, as they were beaten 2-1 in the Carabao Cup. This loss means that Tottenham will now face Manchester United in the quarter-finals. Needless to say, it was a frustrating night for Pep Guardiola, who had to deal with the withdrawal of Manuel Akanji during the warm-up and Savinho hobbling off the field with an injury. There was also concern for Gvardiol as he received treatment on the field after the final whistle, with the City medical staff appearing to be quite worried.
When asked about Gvardiol's condition after the match, Guardiola seemed unsure and said, "I don't know, I didn't speak. Every time I went near the massage tables it was too busy, too crowded, so I don't know." However, Gvardiol himself has since taken to social media and made no mention of any injuries. In fact, he sounded quite positive and ready to go for their game against Bournemouth this weekend. He posted a photo on Instagram with the caption, "Thanks for the support. We keep moving forward with full focus on Saturday!"
It's no secret that Manchester City's squad is currently facing some major challenges due to injuries. Players like Rodri and Oscar Bobb are out with long-term injuries, while Kevin De Bruyne, Jack Grealish, Jeremy Doku, and Kyle Walker are all sidelined as well. Guardiola himself acknowledged the difficult situation they are in, saying, "We have 13 players, so we are in real difficulty. The guys that play, they finish most of them with problems and we'll see how they recover."
Looking ahead to their upcoming game, Guardiola will have to make do with a limited squad. He explained, "Tomorrow we have two keepers and Erling Haaland for the training session, the rest, so we don't have anything else. I think when we are in trouble, like we are now, the players come together and make a step forward. They will try to do their best this week and recover in this short amount of time."
Despite the challenges they are facing, Guardiola is confident that they will still give their best against Bournemouth. He said, "We have the Academy and if the seniors cannot be there, we'll use them. We're going to Bournemouth to compete." As for the injuries from the game against Tottenham, Akanji is expected to be available for their next match, but the extent of Savinho's injury is still unclear and he may not be able to play.
