Manchester City, which started the English Premier League season with unexpected losses, has faced serious problems again. Although Pep Guardiola's side defeated Wolverhampton Wanderers by a large margin in the first round, they lost to Tottenham and Brighton in the next two matches.
Highly likely, points lost consecutively in the final part of the season could cost the team dearly. Moreover, injuries to leading players are also causing a number of problems.
Reputed portals such as CITYXTRA.CO.UK and ESTEEMEDKOMPANY.COM have released separate information on the topic of injuries in "City," especially Abdukodir Khusanov's injury.
Initially, Ryan Sherki was injured, while Abdukodir Khusanov also suffered an injury in the match against Brighton. Ryan Ait-Nuri, called up to the Algerian national team, was ruled out due to health reasons. And now Nico O'Reilly and Rico Lewis are also excluded from general training.
According to an official statement from Manchester City, both players will miss the tournament due to injuries, despite being called up to the England youth national team. They remain at the club's base and are undergoing a medical examination and recovery.
The two-week break given in connection with FIFA dates creates a great opportunity for Josep Guardiola. The coach is eagerly awaiting the recovery of Abdukodir Khusanov, Ryan Sherki, and Ryan Ayt-Nuri, who are eagerly awaiting their return to the main squad.
According to Manchester Evening News journalist Tyrone Marshall, Husanov will miss national team matches due to a leg muscle injury. He will stay in Manchester for two weeks and undergo individual treatment.
Now everyone is wondering one question: Will Abdukodir Khusanov recover by the derby? City, however, hopes the Uzbek defender will be ready for the match against Manchester United at Etihad on September 14th.
In the match against Brighton, Khusanov was distinguished by his strengths - speed, fighting spirit, and confidence in his movements. Despite his young age, he played perfectly and without mistakes on the field. For this reason, many experts consider him one of the key figures in the team.
As Adam Marret (analyst at ESTEEMEDKOMPANY.COM) noted, Khusanov's recovery will be crucial for the derby. Because while Guardiola is preparing for opponent Ruben Amorim's strong defensive and counter-attacking tactics, the return of the Uzbek footballer to the field will add great strength to the team.
Most importantly, a two-week break should be sufficient for the young defender's full recovery. The fans are now focusing all their attention on Husanov's return to the field.
