Pep Guardiola was Challenged after John Stones Injured

DBasia.news –  John Stones’ injury did not leave Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola disappointed. He was even challenged to find a solution to the City defender’s crisis.

An injury storm hit Manchester City’s backline. In training ahead of the match against Shakhtar Donetsk in Kharkiv, John Stones suffered a muscle injury.

These conditions make John Stones followed his colleague, Aymeric Laporte, into the treatment room. Laporte has certainly not been able to defend Manchester City until the turn of the year.

The injury suffered by John Stones certainly makes Pep Guardiola very confused. Not without reason, Manchester City has just released Vincent Kompany in the summer of 2019.

These conditions make Manchester City practically only has one pure central defender, Nicholas Otamendi. The result, Pep Guardiola also promised to find a solution.

“The injury suffered by John Stones is a formidable challenge. For me as a manager, this condition is an extraordinary challenge,” said Pep Guardiola.

“At the moment, Manchester City only has one central defender in Nicholas Otamendi. However, I believe in things that people don’t know such as passion and commitment.”

“Manchester City has 11 players on the pitch. This condition can be my way of proving myself. This is not a problem, but a challenge,” he continued.

Currently, Manchester City’s best option is to play their defensive midfielder as a central defender. The name that immediately becomes a candidate is Fernandinho.
