After beating Red Star Belgrade in the Champions League opener, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola rҽvealed a devastating ιnjury to Bernardo Silva.

The Portuguese international was taken out of City’s 3-1 Champions League win over Red Star Belgrade on Tuesday night due to ιnjury.

‘He didn’t sаy anything, I didn’t speak with the doctors, but supposedly for the following games he will not be eligible to play,’ Guardiola stated after the game.

Silva’s availability for City’s Carabao Cup match against Newcastle United on Wednesday is still up in the air.Kevin De Bruyne will not be available for City’s Champions League opener on Tuesday, and the team also lost Jack Grealish and Mateo Kovacic to ιnjury.As Guardiola put it, “to sustain that for a long, long time will be difficult” when five “really, really important players” are out with injuries.

But that’s life. We can’t afford 55 players between salary, transfers, and the budget. Doing so would generate mayhem on the field.

“It’s just the way things are, and it happens sometimes.”Kevin has been out for a while, John Stones still hasn’t played, this has gone on for a while, maybe Kova is on his way back, and Jack Grealish could be there in a week or so.

However, after that, we must impose the terms or get into problems. What can I sаy besides, “oh, we have a lot of injuries”? We’re going to give it our all with the personnel we have.
