The squads for the match between Manchester City and Bournemouth, part of the 11th round of the English Premier League, have been announced. However, as many fans expected, the Uzbek footballer Abdukodir Khusanov did not appear on the roster for the "Citizens," Mail Sport reports.
According to journalist Jack Gowen, Guardiola did not include Oscar Bobb and Husanov in the squad for the match against Bournemouth. This decision is explained by tactical reasons. The coach updated the team's lineup in accordance with the opponent's playing style and preferred to keep some young players on the bench.
As you know, City is operating on a very tight competition schedule. Along with the English Championship, the team also participates in the UEFA Champions League. Therefore, Guardiola is choosing the path of rotation to test the squad in every game, rest the players, and prepare for the next important matches.
Khusanov's absence from the list is not related to his poor form or lack of confidence. On the contrary, it is emphasized that this decision is part of the coach's tactical plan. The young Uzbek defender is actively participating in team training and is expected to receive a new opportunity soon.
From the very beginning of this season, Abdukodir played successfully for City's youth team and caught the attention of the coaching staff. Guardiola, known for his confidence in young players, is closely monitoring Husanov's development.
Currently, the team is preparing for an important Champions League match against Borussia Dortmund. Therefore, some structural changes are being implemented to maintain the condition of key players and prevent potential injuries.
The fans, in turn, hope to see Khusanov in the starting lineup soon. Because he made a positive impression at the club not only with his technique and speed, but also with his diligence.
Furthermore, the level of competition at City is very high. Experienced and world-class players are concentrated in the defensive line. Therefore, for young people, every lesson, every gathering is a valuable opportunity to prove themselves.
In conclusion, Abdukodir Khusanov's absence from this game is temporary. According to Guardiola's tactical plan, each player is given a chance at the right time. Therefore, for Khusanov, this is only a preparatory stage for the next test.
