Pep Gives Oscar Bobb’s Injury Update…
Pep Guardiola has given a peep into the future, and Oscar Bobb is back on the horizon, like a phoenix rising from the ashes of an injury-riddled season. The pint-sized juggernaut was set to break out like an overripe banana after a smashing pre-season, leading Man City to a Community Shield triumph over United. Then fate threw a curveball, and a leg fracture had Bobb benched before he could even lace up for the Premier League’s first kick-off.
With Bobb left off Norway’s March squad, concerns about his fitness were mounting like an overstuffed sandwich. But fear not, Guardiola says Bobb is kicking it in training with the Blues. The rub is, City’s in the thick of Champions League qualification battles and FA Cup chases. Throwing Bobb in is like adding an anchovy to a chocolate cake – tricky at best.
On Thursday, the 22-year-old played a friendly with the Under-21s, and reviews were so good, they made a Broadway show look like amateur hour. Guardiola’s crystal ball predicts Bobb may make a grand return in April. With his mojo back, Bobb’s ready to show he’s not just ‘fit as a fiddle’, but a rock ‘n’ roll drum solo ready to shake up the first team again!
