Another problem. Manchester City defender left the field in first half of the match against Arsenal

Manchester City hosted Arsenal in the central match of the 30th round of the English Premier League. The teams approached the head-to-head encounter as neighbors in the league table, separated by just one point.

In the first half, an unfortunate event occurred for Pep Guardiola. City defender Nathan Ake sustained an injury during one of the game's moments and was forced to leave the field in the 27th minute. He was replaced by Rico Lewis.

For the 29-year-old Ake, this was his 37th match in all competitions this season, with 3 goals and 2 assists to his name.

Before the match against Arsenal, Manchester City faced certain personnel problems in defense, with Kyle Walker and John Stones sustaining injuries during international friendlies with the England national team. Stones made it to the City squad for the match, while the team captain failed to recover in time and watched the game from the stands.
