In the 5th round of the EPL, Uzbek defender Abdukodir Khusanov was substituted at the beginning of the second half due to an injury in the match between Manchester City and Arsenal. This situation significantly weakened the Citizens' defense line and caused concern among the fans.
At a press conference ahead of the match against Huddersfield, head coach Pep Guardiola revealed the number of matches Abdukodir Khusanov will miss. According to him: "I don't think he will be able to play in the next three matches," Guardiola said.
For information, the defender of the Uzbekistan national team and "Manchester City" will not be able to help his team in the next matches, that is, against "Huddersfield" (Karabau Cup), "Burnley" (APL) and "Monaco" (Champions League).
Khusanov's prolonged absence from the field will require a review of the Citizens' tactical plan and will be a major test for Guardiola. His dismissal could negatively impact the coordination between the central defensive line and the defenders.
In this situation, fans and experts dream of Khusanov recovering quickly and returning to the field, and his return is of great importance to the club.
