During the national team gathering, although the clubs temporarily stopped playing, the head coach was worried or even frowned if any of the pillars were injured. Pep Guardiola had to experience that feeling many times in the past few days when Man City players joined the team.

Ahead of Man City’s match against Arsenal this weekend in the Premier League (10:30 p.m., March 31) – a match of great significance to the very fierce championship race between these two teams and Liverpool – Pep is facing facing a series of losses in defense alone. Up to 4 players on this line left the team with both serious and minor injuries, not to mention their other 3 big stars who are also being monitored.

Central defender John Stones, who last season sometimes played holding midfielder for Man City, left the field early in England’s 2-2 draw against Belgium. He played for 10 minutes before being replaced by Joe Gomez because Stones showed signs of pain in his right leg. At this time, Man City was checking the extent of Stones’ injury.

Meanwhile, Kyle Walker left the national team after England lost 0-1 to Brazil. This full-back made a timely block on the goal line to prevent Vinicius from scoring at the beginning of the first half, but not long after that he had to lie on the field. Walker was diagnosed with signs of ligament pain but still needs further monitoring.
