“Ederson, Nathan Ake, Sergio Gomez, Rodri, and Erling Haaland were all back in ManCity training today after respective injury/fitness issues.”
Did anyone not see this coming? Seems it’s a regular occurrence where City players will say they are “injured” to miraculously recover in a week after getting to fly back early.
What’s wrong with that?
It’s far better for player welfare to feign an injury during the break, than having them fly halfway around the world to play back-to-back meaningless internationals and then rush back on long-haul flights all jet-lagged and adjusting to the physical effects of flying, only to immediately go and play in a stupid 12:30 kick-off in one of the biggest games of the season.
I only wish Liverpool had been sensible enough to do the same thing.
Fuck that hassle, and fuck that international bullshit.
