In one of the most attractive crosses of the English League Cup, the Tottenham eliminated the Manchester City after beating it 2-1 with Argentine presence: Cristian Romero was the starter and captain of his teamalthough he could not complete the match. The reason? According to his own coach, due to “physical fatigue.” Although two weeks before the next double date of the Qualifiers, The coaching staff of the Argentine National Team will closely follow his evolution.
Things got difficult very early for City. In just 25 minutes, Spurs had already managed to make it 2-0 thanks to goals from Timo Werner -at 5′- and Pape Sarr. And although Matheus Nunes’ injury goal – assisted by Savinho – revitalized the hopes of Pep Guardiola’s team, there was no time for comebacks.
Cuti, sitting on the bench (REUTER).
Although yes for worries. As? Yeah: Cuti Romero was relieved by Ben Davies when just six minutes into the second stage. “I was a little tired. I thought about changing him at half-time, but after also losing Micky (van de Ven: also replaced due to injury) I didn’t want to lose another centre-back. He said he felt fine, but my gut told me there was no point in taking risks.”explained Australian coach Angelos Postecoglou.
For now, Lionel Scaloni will be following his situation: Romero is a fixture in the National Team’s call for the matches against Paraguay (on 11/14, in Asunción) and Peru (on 11/19, in Buenos Aires). In Ezeiza, for example, they wait for Postecoglou’s presumption to be confirmed and that it is only a preventive departure due to physical fatigue due to the accumulation of matches.
Savinho and an injury that worries Manchester City
From the opposite sidewalk, Guardiola left much more worried than Postecoglou. Why Savinho left the field of play 17 minutes into the second half: in tears and on a stretcher he was replaced by Jacob Wright. And although the final diagnosis of the former Girona footballer, signed in the last market as City’s big offensive bet, is still unknown, it was unofficially revealed that he would have suffered a fracture that would leave him off the field for a long time.
Savinho was injured in a dribble attempt on Destiny Udogie that led to a corner kick. Although initially the footballer got up and walked, once the play was finished he could no longer bear the pain and asked for medical assistance. His image being removed from the field in tears spread around the world. And it directly impacts the planning of the Catalan coach.
It is difficult to calm down, Pep, in the face of this panorama. And Savinho joins the long list of injuries that includes Rodri – without going any further, he traveled to receive the Ballon d’Or on crutches – as well as Kyle Walker, Kevin de Bruyne, Oscar Bobb, Jeremy Doku and Jack Grealish. All decisive talents for the City structure.
