John Stones got hurt again and won’t be able to play in Manchester City’s game against Newcastle on Saturday. Bernardo Silva is also injured and won’t be able to play. It seems like Kevin De Bruyne will be out for even longer than they initially thought.
Stones, Bernardo, and Ruben Dias couldn’t play in the Super Cup game on Wednesday and might not be able to play in the game against Newcastle this weekend.
Bernardo couldn’t go to Greece because he was sick, but Dias wasn’t supposed to go either. However, he still played with the team and was on the bench in a game against Sevilla. He has been practicing since then.
Last week, Dias couldn’t play in a game because he had a head injury. And even though he was on the team’s bench for another game, he wasn’t going to be able to play in that one either.
Stones couldn’t play in the Burnley game because he had a small injury, and in the next game, he sat on the bench and didn’t get to play. Ake and Akanji worked together to protect the team’s goal for the second time in a row.
Now, an important person named Pep Guardiola has said that a player named Stones got worse and can’t play this weekend. Another player named Bernardo might not get better from being sick in time to play. We are not sure if another player named Dias will be able to play or not.
Guardiola said that John and Bernardo cannot play, and he is not sure about Ruben. But he later said that Ruben might be able to play. He also mentioned that Stones has a problem with his muscles.
Even more concerning, Guardiola said that De Bruyne will take longer to recover from his hamstring injury than they initially thought. Before, they said he would be out for three to four months, but now they say he will be out for four to five months.
De Bruyne won’t be able to play until next year because of his injury, which is not good for City’s beginning of the season.
