Pep’s Battered Star Squad Awaits Recovery…
In a showdown granting more drama than a soap opera, Manchester City cruised past Leicester City with a 2-0 ballet that elevated them to the fourth spot on the Premier League stage. The flamboyant Jack Grealish and a stealthy Omar Marmoush adorned the score sheet, while Pep’s warriors, otherwise known as The Walking Wounded, prepared for a potential Manchester traffic jam showdown this coming Sunday against arch-nemeses Manchester United!
But wait, here’s the kicker: Erling Haaland, the Norse thunderbolt, has reportedly decided he needed a much-needed spa day — lasting five to seven weeks! With a foot perkier than ever after being roughed up by Bournemouth, he’ll be sipping cool beverages by mid-May in time for the FIFA Club World Cup, hopefully dazzling defenders with his notorious scoring samba.
Adding to City’s medical tale, Nathan Ake’s foot has joined the circus, enduring a gargantuan 11-week drama fest post-surgery. Then we have Rodri’s magical knees being polished up for perhaps a curtain call by the end of the season. And the intriguing array continues with John Stones and Manuel Akanji holding auditions to return to action sometime between April raindrops and May flowers! Pep’s treatment room looks more like a seaside rehab retreat than a football powerhouse at the minute!
