Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola reassured the fans by commenting on defender Abdukodir Khusanov's condition. It's worth noting that he recently avoided a negative scenario after a clash with Gianluigi Donnarumma. Now the situation is clear: there is no cause for concern.
Guardiola stated that Khusanov's condition is good and he is ready to take the field. The specialist even touched upon the player's adaptation to the team, especially the language issue.
A humorous remark was made: "He doesn't speak English like William Shakespeare, but he's getting better." In short, it's not yet a "classical literature evening," but in football terms, Khusanov understands everything very well. Guardiola described him as intelligent, physically strong, fast, and timely at the most crucial points. This is the most expensive "compliment" for a defender - you don't wait for the ball, it's like buying a position.
"Khusanov's condition is good. He is ready to play. He knows what we want, what he is saying, and is developing further. He is very smart. They are physically strong, fast, and always in the right positions," Guardiola said.
It was previously reported that the club's doctor had also made a decision in Khusanov's favor. This means the player doesn't see any serious obstacles, either medically or physically.
Now the focus is on tomorrow's game. The match against Fulham kicks off at 00:30 Tashkent time. Since Khusanov is said to be "ready to play," it means the fans have one hope: to see the same control, speed, and firm character saying "I'm here" on the field again.
