Rodri's return, De Bruyne's respect, and Guardiola's acknowledgments
During the winter transfer window, after the addition of Uzbek forward Abduqodir Husanov to the ranks of "Manchester City," interest in the "Citizens" has sharply increased in our country.
Currently, many football fans are paying special attention to "City." It is natural that team news, transfers, analyses, and every match are being followed with great interest.
At this time, serious renewal processes are taking place within the team. Various sources are spreading different information about the changes in "City."
When will Rodri return to the field?
The 2024 Ballon d'Or winner, one of the highest-rated midfielders in world football, Rodri has missed a significant part of the season due to injury. Fans are troubled by one question: When will Rodri return to the field?
Head coach Josep Guardiola clarified this issue:
“Rodri has started training. He is feeling much better now. However, we will not put him on the field until the doctors give full clearance. I have asked to be personally informed about this. We will not take risks.”
It should be noted that Rodri has only played in two matches in the current Premier League season. He suffered a knee injury and had to undergo several months of treatment.
Even if De Bruyne leaves — as a legend
Another major topic is the departure of Kevin De Bruyne. His teammate Jeremy Doku spoke sincerely about the Belgian playmaker:
“Kevin is a legend of Manchester City. He has achieved great success for the club. Even if he leaves, our respect for him will not change. Fans appreciate him because he is a true leader.
He came to the club even before Guardiola. There is a final of the FA Cup ahead. We want to send Kevin off with a trophy.”
For your information, De Bruyne joined "City" in 2015, and his contract will expire on June 30, 2024.
Guardiola admitted: “I’m tired, I will take a break”
Josep Guardiola spoke openly about leaving the head coach position and his plans after his career:
“I believe I will leave the team when my contract expires. I am certain about this decision. Neither the Champions League nor a high salary will change my mind.
I think the fans of the teams I have worked with have enjoyed the team's play. Barselona, Bayern, City — I hope I have left good memories at every stage.”
At the same time, Guardiola recently extended his contract with the club until the summer of 2027. However, he emphasizes that he will take a break when the term comes.
From these news in "Manchester City," it is evident that the club is expecting significant changes not only tactically but also personally. However, the most important thing is that there is now an Uzbek star in this team.
Do you think Abduqodir Husanov can make a name for himself at "City"?
