US EditionCity Confirm that Gvardiol Has Suffered a Broken Leg
Gvardiol's tibial fracture requires surgery and sidelines him for months, weakening Manchester City's defense during key Premier League and cup matches.
- During the second half on Sunday, Manchester City defender Josko Gvardiol suffered an injury in the 1-1 draw with Chelsea at the Etihad Stadium, with tests on Monday revealing a `tibial fracture to his right leg` requiring surgery and an expected sidelining for months.
- With Stones already sidelined for the past month, Pep Guardiola, Manchester City manager, is without three others including Oscar Bobb and Mateo Kovacic as Nico Gonzalez missed the Chelsea game and Savinho picked up an injury before Wednesday’s clash.
- Gvardiol was one of two City centre-backs who went off injured in the second half, along with Ruben Dias, before Enzo Fernandez snatched a stoppage-time equaliser; Rodri returned and played the full 90 minutes on his first start since October.
- The injury is a major blow to Pep Guardiola and City's hopes of chasing down Arsenal, as Gvardiol may miss the Carabao Cup semi-final, the Manchester derby and Champions League group-stage matches.
- City responded by recalling 20-year-old Max Alleyne from Watford as cover since Nathan Ake struggles to start consecutive games, leaving only Abdukodir Khusanov fully fit ahead of Wednesday's game against Brighton.
