Man City Hit by 'FIFA Virus' Two Weeks Before Real Madrid Showdown
Concern in the "Citizens" team due to injuries during the FIFA date for John Stones and Kyle Walker.
Bad news for Pep Guardiola's Manchester City as John Stones, one of their key players, sustained an injury during a FIFA date match between the England and Belgium national teams. The injury occurred around the ninth minute of play when Stones had possession of the ball, and pressure from Tielemans and Lukaku caused him to make a wrong move, resulting in a twist to his left knee.
However, amidst this unfortunate moment for the British player, one positive aspect can be highlighted: he was able to leave the field under his own power, indicating that the injury is not too severe and he could return to the pitch much sooner than expected.
Furthermore, the bad news for Manchester City doesn't end there, as another one of their key players also sustained an injury during this FIFA date: right-back Kyle Walker. Walker suffered a hamstring problem during the
first half of the match against Brazil, which England lost 1-0. Nevertheless, this injury also doesn't appear to be too serious, but we'll have to wait and see how the player and the injury progress.
It's important to monitor the situation with these players and their injuries, as they are crucial pieces in Guardiola's Manchester City setup, and it's worth remembering that in less than two weeks, City will face Real Madrid in the Champions League quarterfinals.
