Pep Guardiola has made the adaptation to John Stones ahead of a key Premier League clash between Manchester City and Etihad’s Liverpool this weekend renew.
Espanyol spoke at a pre-match press conference and confirmed that it will not be able to play against Premier League leaders. According to Pep Guardiola, the England international will be out for a long time, but he can’t be sure when he will return to Manchester City.
He said
John Stones will be out for a long time. Soon, we will know if he needs surgery. I said before Real Madrid: We have all the central defenders! Now you will see it. One week later…two central defenders, four months. ”
He also confirmed that for Manchester City to compete again, most players must be suitable and available.
“The reality is, for the future, if we want to compete again, we have to fit and be useful with the players. Sometimes it can be hurt, but it has happened a lot of times.”
Manchester City has been a shadow of itself this season after failing to replicate their performance of winning four consecutive Premier League titles, which has never been achieved in league history. Manchester City supporters will hope to win against the Reds as they continue to pursue the top four.
