Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, has delivered some unfortunate news regarding the injury of their winger, Savinho.
This announcement came after their draw with Sunderland in the Premier League on New Year's Day.
The match concluded with City and Sunderland finishing goalless, maintaining a score of 0-0.
This result leaves City four points behind the Gunners, who currently lead the league following their victory over Aston Villa.
The Black Cats displayed a strong defensive performance and earned a well-deserved point on Thursday night, as City failed to capitalize on their opportunities.
After the game, Guardiola addressed reporters, stating, “We had numerous chances in the six-yard box; they weren't easy ones, but we couldn't convert them into goals.
“We created enough opportunities. We strayed from our plan in the first half, but we performed really well in the second half.
“The commitment and desire were different in the first half. In the second half, we generated two excellent chances through Savinho, as well as Jeremy (Doku), Josko (Gvardiol), Phil (Foden), and Erling (Haaland).
“We had plenty of chances, but unfortunately, we couldn't make it count. Savinho had to leave the pitch early in the second half at the Stadium of Light, and Guardiola mentioned that the situation didn't appear promising.”
