In the 6th round of the Premier League, Manchester City were unable to secure a win against Newcastle away from home (1:1).
After the match, City's head coach commented on Erling Haaland’s ankle injury, which resulted in a bleeding wound following a clash with Dan Burn.
Quote: "Haaland? He’s got some bruises. But we’ll have a clearer picture in the coming days."
The coach also expressed his frustration with the constant questions about Rodri, who is sidelined for the rest of the season with a serious injury.
Quote: "Rodri? Well, guys, I’ll answer you. I know you’ll keep asking me about him—of course, we’re going to miss Rodri. His physicality, his presence… I know all that, but he’s not here. I’m focusing on what [Mateo] Kovacic, Rico [Lewis], and Bernardo [did in midfield], how we played. It was exceptional.
I know that if we don’t succeed, it’s going to be because Rodri [isn’t on the pitch]. I need to find a solution. And we will find a solution. I would love for Rodri to be here. But it is what it is," Guardiola told Sky Sports.
Reminder: The City and Spain midfielder faces a lengthy recovery. Rodri underwent surgery, and we won’t see him on the field again this season.
