Foden and Rodri Return as City Faces Spurs…
Manchester City fans can finally breathe as Rodri and Phil Foden are ready to dazzle against Tottenham after missing out on City’s 4-0 opener. Rodri, recovering from a groin injury acquired at the Club World Cup, and Foden, who had an ankle mishap just before a Sicily trip, spent their last game watching from the stands, possibly critiquing their teammates like retired sports analysts! Now they’re back, with Pep warning they’ll need time to rival Usain Bolt’s speed on the field.
While City welcomes their dynamic duo back, four players remain sidelined: Savinho, Mateo Kovacic, Marcus Bettinelli, and Josko Gvardiol. Imagine Mateo Kovacic’s disappointment after a pre-season Achilles surgery kept him out until October; betting he now wishes he had Achilles’ famed heel instead! Gvardiol’s return is brewing but not brewing fast enough for the weekend. It’s a delicate balance of joy for City and a game of ‘musical injuries’ as they prepare to face Tottenham.
