Manchester City fans have been hit with the news of a leg fracture sustained by 21-year-old Oscar Bobb, who had been impressing in pre-season and was expected to have a significant role in the team. The club is hopeful that Bobb will return before the end of 2024, but the extent of the injury is still unknown. This could potentially open the door for new signing Savinho, who made a lively debut in the Community Shield and has the versatility to play on both wings.

Savinho’s arrival from Troyes for £33 million was highly anticipated, given his performances at Girona last season. While he may benefit from Bobb’s injury, the presence of Bernardo Silva, who can also play on the right side, could impact Savinho’s playing time. City manager Pep Guardiola values Bernardo’s control and defensive work-rate in midfield, but Savinho’s one-vs-one abilities could make him a tempting choice on the right wing. The injury to Bobb has potentially shifted the dynamics in City’s squad, creating opportunities for new players like Savinho to make their mark.
