Wetin dey happen, na sports gists we carry come today! So, if you don dey reason wetin go happen for the first Premier League match of the season wey Manchester City go play against Wolverhampton, no vex o, but some key players no go show face.
As e be, Oga Pep Guardiola don yarn for media say Josko Gvardiol and Savinho no go fit play due to injury wahala. Just to clear everybody mind, Gvardiol dey join him fellow Croatian, Mateo Kovacic, wey don also dey chill for sideline go another month or so – talk about bad luck for start!
Wetin we sabi be say, Savinho sharp-sharp pick injury during pre-season trip wey dem go Palermo last week. E no dey sweet for our hearts as we go miss am for this opening dance on Saturday. Guardiola need to ready his squad as the match dey come up for Molineux at 17:30 (UK time). We sabi say the man talk say, “Kovacic no dey ready, Josko no dey ready, but others dey.” (E no go talk say dem dey fit sef, if you catch my drift!)
Pep no gree carry the matter load full; he talk say Foden and Rodri wey miss the last game dey fit travel with the team. The coach still dey pray say Rodri go fit join the squad for this match. E get as e be, we no wan rush am back make him no relapse – after all, na knee injury we dey talk about here!
Guardiola also mention say, “Rodri don train well; tomorrow we go decide how many minutes he go fit play.” (We dey hope say he no go just dey sit down like decoration for bench o!)
But make we discuss more about the match; nobody wan lose this one as na first chance to shine for the season. Manchester City dey roll out with some heavy players, but with injuries matter, we go dey watch as things dey play out.
As fans, we sabi say na ‘no pain, no gain’, but for now, make we just sit down, sip our palm wine, and dey prepare for the grandchildren wey go tell us, “Uncle! You importantly dey support City?”
Na wetin suppose happen when kick-off dey knock on our door. Abeg, make we just dey pray for our guys to use their full fitness and show Wolves say na City we dey represent!
