Manchester City Manager Pep Guardiola broke down in tears as Three Key Manchester City player goes off injured during International break last night, a very sad moment for Manchester City fans as the injury seems to be a career ending injury

During the first half of England’s Tuesday night friendly against Belgium at Wembley, John Stones was forced off due to injury.

Within the opening ten minutes of the match, the defender made a few passes and was later observed holding his right leg. In a crucial Premier League title match on Sunday, Manchester City takes on Arsenal.

Pep Guardiola’s worries going into the weekend are increased by the fact that Kyle Walker was substituted during England’s Saturday loss to Brazil. The full back’s injury is not believed to be serious, but Manuel Akanji’s withdrawal from Switzerland’s match against Ireland and the absence of Kevin De Bruyne and Jack Grealish from international duty raise serious concerns for City regarding their key players’ fitness. Both players are expected to be fit for the weekend.

Given that Stones has been sidelined by injury this season, his loss would be devastating. The 29-year-old is vital to both the team and his nation.

Prior to the match against Arsenal, City’s players are expected to return to the club on Thursday. Guardiola will use this time to evaluate the condition of his team. Erling Haaland disclosed that Guardiola had before openly advised his players to be prudent with their workload in light of a hectic schedule ahead for City, but jokingly told them he would ‘come after them’ if they were hurt this week.
