Man City Star Gvardiol Undergoes Surgery for Broken Shinbone
Josko Gvardiol, a defender for Manchester City, is set to undergo surgery this week after suffering a broken shinbone. The injury occurred during the recent Premier League match against Chelsea, which ended in a 1-1 draw. Gvardiol, 23, left the field in the 51st minute, raising concerns about his condition.
Injury Update on Manchester City Defender
Manchester City is currently assessing the full extent of Gvardiol’s injury. The club has not yet provided a definite timeline for his recovery following the surgical procedure.
Impact on the Squad
- Ruben Dias, another central defender, also sustained an injury later in the match.
- With both players sidelined, City is facing a mounting injury crisis in their defensive lineup.
To address the situation, Manchester City has recalled Max Alleyne from his loan with Watford. The 20-year-old academy graduate has made 17 appearances for Watford this season.
Additional Squad Changes
Alleyne, whose father is former England cricketer Mark Alleyne, may join the Manchester City squad for their upcoming match against Brighton. This move comes as England’s John Stones remains out with his own injury.
Potential January Signings
In light of the current injury situation, City is reportedly exploring a potential January transfer for Crystal Palace’s captain, Marc Guehi, to bolster their defensive options.
As Manchester City navigates these challenges, fans and analysts will be watching closely to see how the team adjusts both in tactics and personnel in the weeks ahead.
