Manwan: Foden s ankle injury + Rodri s groin injury, so the two missed Manchester City s first round Premier League

August 17th, August this Sunday, Manchester City will play against Wolves away in the first round of the Premier League, and both Foden and Rodri will miss the game due to injury.

Fourden and Rodri were not included in Manchester City's Premier League first match against Wolves, and Guardiola hopes the team will get a good start at the Molyneux Stadium, but he will have to face the lack of two best players.

Although Foden and Rodri went away with the team, they did not make it to the 20-man roster for the game. Due to recent injuries, the club decided to give them a little longer to rest. Foden failed to go with the team to Palermo after an ankle injury during training. Although he has resumed training this week, he has not been selected to play against Wolves to prevent another injury.

Guardiola explained last week that Rodri needed to recover, and he suffered a serious groin injury in the Club World Cup, coupled with a absence from an ACL injury most of last season. The club hopes he will play for a few minutes in the first three games, but he is expected to recover until after his first international match day.

Guardiola said: "That's the truth, it's a very difficult injury. After a year of injury, you always have some muscle problems. We worked very hard to avoid it, but it's hard to know exactly how many minutes and how many games he needs to recover. Of course, he's eager to play, and we need his ambition, personality and ability. He was named one of the best players in the world last season, so it's very important for us to return."

"I'm so happy to see him smiling in training and in the locker room. He's coming back soon, but he's only going to play for a few minutes and then take a day off. , play for a few more minutes. Interpreting the data is the hardest thing, know what is the best for him."

Guardiola also talked about having a huge roster on Friday, explaining that there are always some players who will be excluded at the moment: "The situation is not easy, but they all know it. There will be two players sitting in the stands tomorrow, and when other players return, there may be four or five players not being able to make the roster. This is not an ideal situation, but we have a lot of games, and there are more and more games per season, and you need to have a team that can handle every game."
