Mateo Kovacic, one of the leading players of the current English champion Manchester City, has been out for a long time. Doctors decided to perform surgery on the 31-year-old midfielder due to a serious ankle injury. Although the operation was successful, it was announced that the player will not be able to help the team for at least three months.
Thus, Kovacic will not be able to be with his teammates during the upcoming Club World Cup and the start of the next Premier League season. This situation is certainly expected to be a big loss for Manchester City head coach Pep Guardiola. Because Mateo Kovacic was one of the club's key players last season, strengthening the team's central line in important matches.
Recall that last season, Kovacic played a total of 42 matches for the "city" team, scoring 7 important goals and providing 3 more assists, and was recognized as one of the main heroes in many important victories.
The temporary suspension of the Croatian midfielder from the football field could significantly complicate the situation in the midfield of "Manchester City". The head coach of the team and the club's management will now have to find alternative options to solve this problematic situation as soon as possible.
In the meantime, special rehabilitation programs are being developed to restore Mateo Kovacic's health and return to the field. So far, according to doctors' forecasts, the player can return to full training in three months. However, during this period, Kovacic will miss important matches not only for the club, but also for the Croatian national team.
The management and fans of Manchester City are eagerly awaiting the player's speedy recovery and return to his best form. At the same time, the team is also considering the possibility of strengthening the midfield in the transfer market. Because the club's main goal is to achieve high results in the new season, both in the domestic championship and on the international stage. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
