Pep’s Injury List Longer Than a Monday Morning …
As Man City gets ready to face Brighton at the Etihad Stadium this weekend, it seems both teams have swapped their players for bubble wrap experts! Pep Guardiola’s squad took a knock from Nottingham Forest’s branches last match, and now City sits fifth in the table, hoping to climb like a squirrel in a hurry.
Rodri’s dealing with a knee that prefers reclining, leaving Oscar Bobb to nurture his fitness in peace. Meanwhile, Nathan Ake’s foot and John Stones’ thigh have both sent RSVP regrets until further notice. It’s like Pep’s been playing injury bingo, and he’s shouting “Full House!”
Over at Brighton, the injury bug made friends with Tariq Lamptey, but he’s back from his brief vacation. Igor Julio, Fergi Kadioglu, and the crew are off the guest list due to ailments more common than a Monday’s coffee spill. Brighton’s squad saunters to the Etihad fresh from a victory over Fulham, sitting one point behind City like an eager puppy. Who knew the game would be a health symposium? Stay tuned for the amusing comeback of fit footballers, hopefully by halftime!
