Pep Guardiola provided an injury update on Manchester City player John Stones after the team’s 5-1 victory over Luton Town. Stones was not included in the squad due to feeling slightly uncomfortable leading up to the game, but Guardiola assured that he was not injured. This news was a relief to fans, as Stones has had a history of injuries, and his presence is crucial for the team.
Despite Stones missing the match against Luton, Guardiola remains hopeful that he will recover in time for the team’s second leg against Real Madrid in the Champions League. Stones’ ability to provide control and support in midfield has been valuable to Manchester City, and his absence would be felt. However, if he is unable to play, Mateo Kovacic has shown promise as a potential replacement, having performed well in previous matches.
The victory over Luton allowed Guardiola to rotate the squad and rest key players like Bernardo Silva, Phil Foden, Rodri, and Jack Grealish ahead of the important Real Madrid match. While Stones’ absence raised concerns, Guardiola’s update on his condition was reassuring. Manchester City fans will be eagerly awaiting updates on Stones’ recovery and potential involvement in the upcoming crucial fixture.
