Not only Nunes and Kovacic, another Manchester City player got injured in international break

Manchester City’s coach Pep Guardiola suffered another blow in his squad as a new player got injured in the last few hours. The Catalan coach, who already had the absences of Mateo Kovacic and Matheus Nunes, will add another top player to the list of possible injured players to face Liverpool in the Etihad Stadium after the international break.

The player in question is the Spanish midfielder Rodri, who was reported absent from Spain's Euro 2024 qualifiers clash with Cyprus after reporting a discomfort to medical staff according to the Spanish journalist Miguel Angel Diaz from the Radio Station Cadena Cope, who confirmed the news in the last few hours.

Following these sources, the Spain national team manager, Luis de la Fuente, would have decided not to risk the Manchester City player, which could still give some hope to Pep Guardiola to count on the player to face Liverpool on the thirteenth day of the 2023/2024 Premier League in the Etihad Stadium.

The player’s presence is absolutely crucial for the Citizen

In this sense, the game against the Reds represents a crucial game for the Citizen, who are only one point behind their persecutors after losing two points in their 4-4 draw against Chelsea in Stamford Bridge last week. Meanwhile, the potential absence of Rodri would be considered as key for the Sky Blues, who this season have lost the three games where the Spanish midfielder was absent from the team.
