Manchester City defeated Crvena Zvezda (Serbia) 3-1 in the first match of Group G of the UCL group stage held at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester, England on the 20th (Korean time).
Julian Alvarez scored multiple goals, and Rodri scored a goal.
According to the BBC, coach Guardiola said after the game, "Bernardo Silva is expected to be out for the next few weeks due to injury."
On this day, Silva was replaced by ‘transfer’ Jeremy Doku before the end of the first half.
Coach Pep Guardiola did not mention the location of Silva's injury.
Coach Guardiola said, “We are in a difficult situation,” but said, “I will not make excuses because there are many injuries.”
He predicted, “Five important players for us are injured, and it will be difficult to endure for a long time (without them).”
Manchester City has already announced that starting midfielder Kevin De Bruyne will be absent for four months due to a hamstring injury suffered last month, and key players including Jack Grealish, who suffered a knee injury, as well as Mateo Kovacic and John Stones, are suffering from injuries.
A large number of people are absent.
Coach Guardiola said, “We will continue to play with the players we have,” and “We can do it if we hold on with our mental strength.”
However, he also expressed hope that some of them will return soon.
Coach Guardiola expected that “Kovačić will probably return soon,” and explained, “It looks like Grealish will be able to play within 7 to 10 days, but he also needs to adjust his condition.”
