Guardiola is so difficult! 13 strong players suffered injuries after just three rounds

Manchester City will usher in the fourth round of the Premier League match against the city's rival Manchester United. This game is crucial. Once you lose, Manchester City may be completely in a slump and fall into a quagmire of relegation.

What frustrated Guardiola was that before the matchup between Manchester United, Manchester City was hit by a wave of injuries. Including Marmush, who had just suffered injuries on the international match day, there were already 13 main players under his command who had suffered injuries of varying degrees.

The 13 players who were injured at the same time are: Bettinelli, Ait Nuri, Gvadior, Husanov, Rico Lewis, Stones, Sherki, Foden, Kovacic, Nico O'Reilly, Calvin Phillips, Savigno and Marmush, who had just suffered an injury.

In the near future, Manchester City will encounter a very intensive devil schedule, including a derby battle with Manchester United at the Etihad Stadium, a match against Napoli in the first round of the Champions League group stage, and a confrontation with championship-winning pistol player Arsenal. It can be said that every battle is a fierce battle that is evenly matched. At this time, Manchester City suffered such a serious injury wave, which is undoubtedly a lot of tests for Guardiola. Guardiola is so difficult now.

We know that the September game has unknowingly become a key node in determining whether Manchester City will compete for the championship or relegation this season, and will severely test Manchester City's strength and Guardiola's coaching ability. However, the worrying wave of injuries and physical hidden dangers are seriously restricting Guardiola's ability to rotate the lineup.

Manchester City had encountered a similar crisis last season, and De Bruyne, Stones, and especially Rodri were all absent for a long time at critical moments of the season. Past experience may help Guardiola cope with the current dilemma, but the injury wave of up to 13 strong players gives Guardiola almost no room for mistakes.

What's more serious is that with the camp full of wounded soldiers, Manchester City not only faces the pressure of chasing their opponents in the Premier League, but also has to take into account the ambitions of the European arena. In the next few weeks, Guardiola's lineup choice may rely heavily on marginal players and young players, and some youth training new stars may be promoted and reused by Guardiola. If this is true, it will be a good thing for Manchester City to upgrade its lineup.

Of course, in September, some injuries may recover quickly, but the uncertainty of the injury update will still put huge pressure on the Manchester City medical team. In short, such a serious injury wave will indeed give Guardiola a headache.
