“Not Ready Yet, But Feels Better” – Guardiola on Ruben Dias’ Recovery Ahead of FA Cup
Ahead of Manchester City’s FA Cup match against Salford City on Saturday, January 11, manager Pep Guardiola has shared some positive updates regarding the club’s injury list.
City has faced a number of injury setbacks, with several key players spending time off the pitch.
However, Guardiola expressed relief that the situation is improving.
Speaking at a press conference, he confirmed that while some players are still recovering, the team is slowly regaining strength.
One of the players in focus is Ruben Dias, who has been sidelined for some time.
Guardiola revealed that although Dias is feeling better, he won’t be ready to feature against Salford.
“Not yet. He feels better but not ready. I don’t know when,” the manager said.
In better news, Guardiola spoke about young player Oscar Bobb, who has recently recovered from a fracture.
Bobb is now back in training with the team, which is a major boost.
“He is training with the team partially. That’s good news for us. It was a fractured bone.
Now that it’s healed, he’s fine, but good news is he’s back,” Guardiola added.
Popular Nigerian Footballer Victor Osimhen recalls his life journey and how he grew up in Lagos State, Nigeria.
During a recent interview with Daddy Freeze, the footballer reflected on his life, a young boy supporting his family.
The footballer recalled when he used to fetch water for the neighbors to make little money to support his family. He stated that he charged 80 naira per trip and he also washed the gutters, charging 30 naira.
Super Eagles head coach, Eric Chelle, is expected to be at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena in Lagos on Saturday, June 28, to watch the President Federation Cup final between Kwara United and Abakaliki FC.
The match presents a scouting opportunity for Chelle as he continues his search for fresh talent ahead of the 2024 African Nations Championship (CHAN), which is exclusive to players active in their home leagues.
Last month, the Malian coach included 10 home-based players in Nigeria’s squad for the Unity Cup in London, showing his growing interest in the local scene. Nigeria has been drawn into Group D alongside Congo, Sudan, and Equatorial Guinea for the upcoming CHAN, which will take place in August across Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania.
Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappe has been hospitalized due to a severe bout of gastroenteritis. The club confirmed the news in a statement released on Thursday, noting that the French captain was taken in for medical tests after his condition worsened.
Because of this, Mbappe will be unavailable for Real Madrid’s upcoming FIFA Club World Cup clash against Pachuca on Sunday. He also missed their 1-1 draw with Al Hilal earlier in the week. At 26, the former PSG star will be aiming to bounce back quickly as he looks to return to action at the ongoing FIFA World Cup in the U.S.
