Pep confirms two Man City players are injured, will not play in opening match against Chelsea

- Oscar Bobb out for 3-4 months after breaking his leg during pre-season training
- Man City are set to open their Premier League campaign against Chelsea on Sunday.
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has confirmed that Oscar Bobb and Rodri will miss Sunday’s game against Chelsea , with Rodri the latter having not been seen since the end of the season.
Rodri suffered an injury in the Euro 2024 final between Spain and England. Which saw the Spain midfielder substituted at half-time and he has not returned to training with the ทางเข้า ufabet https://ufabet999.app team yet.
“He didn’t train, I haven’t seen him yet, but I think he feels better. We’ll see how he feels now.”
Oscar Bobb is a bit more of a concern, having impressed during the pre-season in the United States but unfortunately suffered a fractured leg and will be sidelined for a long time. Pep has provided an update on Bobb’s condition. “It happened in
training and unfortunately it was a serious injury.
“He will have to undergo surgery and I hope he goes through it well. We will be ready to welcome him back in three or four months. “
We are very sad about him, not because he played well in the pre-season. It doesn’t matter, but when someone is injured for a long time it is a problem. We just pray that he recovers as soon as possible.”
As for the replacements for the two missing players, it is expected that Mateo Kovacic will be paired with Nico O’Reilly in the midfield to replace Rodri who is unable to play. As for the options on the right wing, Bernardo Silva, Phil Foden, Jeremy Doku, and Salvinho are all expected to start against Chelsea.
