Ozljeda Rodrija
When Rodri got injured for Man City earlier in the season, it was immediately apparent that the combative midfielder was going to be out of action for some time. A hush descended over the Etihad Stadium when the Spaniard stayed down after a challenge during the Arsenal game. Coming as it did soon after Rodri had hinted that players could go on strike in protest at too many games being played – which could potentially lead to fatigue and injury – wasn’t the best timing.
Kada se Rodri povrijedio za Man City ranije u sezoni, odmah je postalo jasno da će borbeni vezni biti izvan terena neko vrijeme. Tišina je pala nad stadionom Etihad kada je Španac ostao ležati nakon jednog duela tijekom utakmice protiv Arsenala. Dolazeći nakon što je Rodri naznačio da igrači mogu stupiti u štrajk u znak protesta zbog previše odigranih utakmica – što bi moglo dovesti do umora i ozljeda – nije bilo najbolje vrijeme.
With City now having lost four games on the trot, there’s a clear need for the powers that be to authorise a move for a mid-season replacement. According to CaughtOffside sources with knowledge of City’s transfer plans, the reigning Premier League champions are targeting a player Liverpool tried hard to acquire during the summer window.
S obzirom da je City sada izgubio četiri utakmice zaredom, jasna je potreba da nadležni odobro potez za zamjenu usred sezone. Prema izvorima CaughtOffside koji imaju saznanja o transfernim planovima Cityja, vladajući prvaci Premier lige ciljaju igrača za kojeg se Liverpool jako trudio dovesti tijekom ljetnog prijelaznog roka.
