Guardiola’s Healing Brigade vs. Nottingham…
Manchester City is rolling into Nottingham with a medical team that could win a Premier League match on its own. Pep Guardiola’s merry band of men are hobbling into the title race with quite the injury list, and they’re set to face Forest on Saturday in a bid to jump past them on the table. Pull up a comfy chair, because Guardiola’s lineup might just include the team physiotherapist!
Nathan Ake’s foot has waved the white flag, joining the injury ranks after a match against the might of Plymouth. Following an exclusive partnership with a surgery room, Ake is relaxing, with a return penciled for a dreamy May 18 showdown against Bournemouth. Meanwhile, Rodri’s ACL is still on vacation, hoping to return in time for the sunny months of May or June.
Dennis Bobb? Well, he’s been breakdancing with a busted leg all season, but hope shines bright as he trains for a Hollywood-style comeback. John Stones’ thigh is finding its inner zen after a Madrid mauling. Lastly, Akanji’s adductor is “out of office” after a spirited face-off with Madrid, promising nothing short of an April finale. Grab some popcorn as the healing brigade looks to pull a Houdini against Forest!
