BREAKING NEWS: Pep Guardiola has confirmed That Manchester City Star Boy will be out for two or three weeks with an ankle injury..”It will be two weeks, three weeks out. We feel so sorry for him, all of us! But we’re going to play new players, and in the next game, too… And in the second-half, too
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has confirmed a major injury setback for his side as one of the club’s brightest stars will be sidelined for the next two to three weeks after sustaining an ankle injury.
Speaking in a tense press conference ahead of City’s crucial upcoming fixtures, Guardiola revealed the worrying news about his “star boy”, delivering a message of sympathy while vowing to adapt the team in his absence.
> “It will be two weeks, three weeks out,” Guardiola confirmed. “We feel so sorry for him, all of us! But we’re going to play new players, and in the next game too… and in the second half, too.”
🚨 A Key Loss for City
While Guardiola didn’t explicitly name the player, insiders believe the star in question is Phil Foden, who picked up an ankle knock during City’s last match after a tough challenge. Foden, who has been one of City’s standout performers this season, is now set to miss several important fixtures, including the Club World Cup semi-final against Juventus and a key Premier League clash.
The England international has been central to Guardiola’s plans, contributing goals, assists, and a relentless work ethic in both domestic and European competitions.
🚨 Pep’s Response: “We Move Forward”
Despite the disappointment, Guardiola remained calm about the situation, emphasizing the squad’s depth and readiness to rotate.
> “Injuries are part of football. We will adjust — we have other players ready to step up,” the City boss added. “Of course, it’s tough because he’s been brilliant, but this is why we have a strong squad.”
🚨 Who Could Replace Him?
With Foden out, opportunities could open up for the likes of Jack Grealish, Matheus Nunes, Oscar Bobb, or even an adjusted role for Bernardo Silva in Guardiola’s constantly evolving tactical setups.
🚨 Fan Reaction
City fans took to social media immediately after the announcement:
> “Not Foden! Bad timing!”
“We’ll cope, but this hurts. Quick recovery, Starboy!”
