Nathan Ake Will Be Out For A Long Time – Pep Guardiola

Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola has come out to say that Nathan Ake will be out injured for a long time. This is coming after he was forced out of MCFC’s FA Cup win over Plymouth Argyle, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, despite already being without John Stones and Manuel Akanji due to injury, Ake will also be out for a while after his setback vs Plymouth.

Pep added that he is grateful to the club for reinforcing with Abdukodir Khusanov and Vitor Reis in January.

His words, “Now again we have a central defender out for a long time, I think we’ll miss Nathan. I’m so grateful to the club to bring [Abdukodir] Khusanov and Vitor [Reis] otherwise we have no chance to qualify for the Champions League next season or fight for the FA Cup. Impossible! We would just have [Ruben] Dias.”

WOW.
