Man City’s Kovacic Out For A Month With Injury

The bad news is piling up for Pep Guardiola. In addition to the season-long absence of Rodrigo Hernandez and four consecutive defeats, there is now another major injury.

“He will be out for a while,” said the Manchester City boss, who gave the Croatian international precisely that month’s time off.

This means Guardiola will have to find another piece that will allow him to build up the attack. Given the absences he has, perhaps the best solution is to populate the midfield even more.
