Manchester City finally broke their seven-game winless streak on Wednesday night with a 3-0 victory over Nottingham Forest. The Premier League champions have been struggling immensely lately, but this win gave them a much-needed boost. However, the victory may have come at a high cost for City as two of their players, Nathan Ake and Manuel Akanji, suffered fresh injuries during the game.
Ake was forced to leave the field in the second half due to a possible hamstring issue, while Akanji was substituted at half-time, adding to the injury woes for City and their manager, Pep Guardiola. Speaking after the match, Guardiola expressed his disappointment at the situation, stating that the problems continued with Ake and Akanji. He also mentioned that Ake's injury looked quite serious and will need to be assessed further in the coming days. As for Akanji, Guardiola is hopeful that he can return to the field for their next match against Juventus on December 11th.
In the midst of these injury concerns, City's star player Kevin De Bruyne addressed rumors of a rift between him and Guardiola. De Bruyne denied any such issues and clarified that there have never been any problems between him and his manager. He also opened up about his own struggles with injuries and the difficult journey to regain full fitness. Despite the challenges, De Bruyne is determined to get back to his best and help his team succeed. City's next challenge will be against Crystal Palace on Saturday at Selhurst Park.
