City’s Injury Woes Grow After Brighton Defeat…
Manchester City endured a familiar sinking feeling as they tumbled to a second straight defeat, losing to Brighton on a breezy Sunday. The first half looked sunnier than a summer picnic with Erling Haaland giving City the lead. But soon, James Milner decided to turn the game around by scoring a penalty after Matheus Nunes handled the ball as if it were his favorite toy. As both teams hunted for the winner, it was Brighton who found treasure, with Brajan Gruda’s late goal daggering City’s hopes like an over-enthusiastic theater actor!
Let’s now explore the ‘City of Injuries’: Cherki’s thigh problems mean the French magician is out for up to two months, possibly returning against Bournemouth on November 1. Foden also missed the Brighton skirmish, labeled ‘not fully fit’, and might return against Manchester United on September 14. Brazilian sensation Savinho is yet to show his samba skills but hopes are high for a post-international break return. Meanwhile, Kovacic’s Achilles injury continues to be as mysterious as the Loch Ness Monster. Finally, the Croatian powerhouse Gvardiol sits out for now, dreaming of a stroll against Manchester United on September 14.
