“We Won’t Rush Rodri’s Return” – Guardiola Speaks on Injury Recovery
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has made it clear he won’t rush Rodri’s return from injury, saying he won’t take any “stupid” risks.
Rodri recently resumed training after being sidelined for over five months due to a cruciate knee ligament injury he suffered against Arsenal. Initially ruled out for the season, there is now hope he could make a comeback before the campaign ends.
Guardiola acknowledged the excitement around Rodri’s recovery but stressed the need for caution. He hinted that the midfielder might feature in the final Premier League games or the latter stages of the FA Cup but ruled out an early return.
“The fans aren’t the only ones excited. It’s been five, six months, but we need to take it step by step. We can’t make stupid decisions just to bring him back sooner,” Guardiola said.
He added that while Rodri has started touching the ball and interacting with teammates in the locker room, he is still not close to returning. However, Guardiola admitted there’s now a possibility he could play before the season ends.
Morocco coach Mohamed Ouahbi speaks on the Netherlands’ elimination from the World Cup.
The coach explained why the team was eliminated. “Morocco has gained everybody’s respect now,” Ouahbi said, adding: “It’s not because of what we’ve said. We’ve now shown it.
“We completely dominated a Netherlands team. We had 70% possession, more shots and more expected goals. We controlled the match. We wanted to stay calm, play our game and believe that if it went to penalties, we had an exceptional goalkeeper. We didn’t turn the match into a chaotic battle. We controlled it.”
Nigerian footballer and former captain William Troost-Ekong revealed the standout player for him in the South African team during this World Cup.
He shared that Mbekezile Mbokazi really stood out in the World Cup match against Canada.
Despite their loss, he praised the team’s performance. “It speaks volumes that Mbokazi [Mbekezile] was the best player on the South African team. I believe Okon also had considerable possession of the ball.”
