The current champion of England, "Manchester City," has lost one of its key players, Mateo Kovacic, for an extended period. Due to a serious injury to the top of his foot, doctors have decided to perform surgery on the 31-year-old midfielder. Although the operation was successfully completed, it has been announced that the player will not be able to assist his team for at least three months.
Thus, Kovacic will not be able to join his teammates during the upcoming club World Championship and the start of the next season of the Premier League. This situation is expected to be a significant loss for "Manchester City's" head coach Pep Guardiola. Mateo Kovacic was one of the key players for the club last season, strengthening the team's central line in important matches.
It is worth noting that last season, Kovacic played a total of 42 matches for the "Cityzens," contributing 7 important goals and providing 3 assists, being recognized as one of the main heroes in many crucial victories.
The temporary exclusion of the Croatian midfielder from the football field could significantly worsen the situation in "Manchester City's" midfield. The team's head coach and club management will now have to find alternative options quickly to address this problematic situation.
Meanwhile, special rehabilitation programs are being developed for Mateo Kovacic to recover and return to the field. According to doctors' forecasts, the player may return to full training after three months. However, during this period, Kovacic will miss important matches not only for the club but also for the Croatian national team.
The management and fans of "Manchester City" are eagerly awaiting the player's speedy recovery and return to his good sporting form. At the same time, the team is also considering options to strengthen the midfield in the transfer market. After all, the club's main goal is to achieve high results both in the domestic championship and on the international stage in the new season.
