Manchester City have made a perfect start to the Premier League, winning their first three games to sit on nine points, leading on goal difference.
However, early injuries have struck the squad, which is unfortunate as they look to maintain momentum.
Rodri, the midfielder who has been a key player for City, has yet to feature in the Premier League this season. He has been recovering from a heavy workload after helping Spain win the Euros this summer. However, Rodri made his return during Spain’s 4-1 win over Switzerland, playing 58 minutes. His return brings crucial depth to Pep Guardiola’s squad ahead of their match against Brentford.
Brazilian winger Savinho, who was absent last time out due to a knee injury, provided a positive update on his recovery. The young winger shared his progress on Instagram, indicating that he could soon rejoin the team.
Meanwhile, the only long-term absentee is Norwegian youngster Oscar Bobb, who remains sidelined with a fractured leg. While his return is uncertain, City could soon have nearly their entire squad available as they prepare for Brentford.
Guardiola’s side will aim to keep their winning start intact and push for a fourth consecutive victory with injuries easing and the squad regaining fitness,.
