Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, has disclosed that his team is experiencing a defensive crisis due to injuries to essential players.
Guardiola made these comments following the 1-1 draw against Chelsea on Sunday.
City lost Josko Gvardiol and Ruben Dias, who had formed the centre-back partnership at the start of the match, to injuries in the second half.
Nico O’Reilly barely managed to complete the game at the Etihad.
Guardiola has been without John Stones for some time, and Nathan Ake is currently unable to play for extended periods.
“We have numerous defensive injuries,” Guardiola stated.
“John Stones has been unavailable for I don’t know how many months, Ruben will now be sidelined, and Josko will also be out. We always know that Nathan cannot play consistently.”
“However, just like last season, we will remain strong and find a solution. The spirit will be there. If the spirit is there, we will succeed.”
