Man City Starts Strong, But Foden & Rodri Absent! Premier League Highlights!
Eiii folks! The Premier League is back and kicking! Manchester City started the season with a bang, securing a win in their match. You can catch all the highlights from today's games on the BBC Sport website. Make sure you dey watch Match of the Day for all the action!
But, some big names were missing from the City squad against Wolves. Where were Phil Foden and Rodri? Pep Guardiola had to manage the team without these key players.
Why the Absence? Injury Concerns for Key Players
Turns out, Foden and Rodri travelled with the team, but weren't included in the final 20-man squad. Foden has been nursing an ankle knock he picked up in training. The club is being careful not to rush him back and risk another injury. Rodri is also being eased back after a groin injury he sustained at the Club World Cup. Remember that ACL injury that kept him out last season? City wants to make sure he's fully fit before putting him back into the starting lineup.
Guardiola mentioned that Rodri needs to be managed carefully after the injury. They're hoping he can play some minutes in the first few games, but he might not be fully fit until after the international break. These injuries can be tricky, and the club is trying to avoid any further complications.
So, while City secured a win, the absence of Foden and Rodri is something to watch. Will they be back soon? How will City manage without them in the coming games? Stay tuned for more updates!
