The player himself said it was okay, but if it was judged as injured as a result of a detailed diagnosis and absent, this would be bad for Man City, and there is also a risk that the condition at the peak of Gundoan will collapse. In the immediate fight against Tottenham, as the Gundogan fell, Man City’s attack became somewhat dull, exposing the problem of only 3 shots for 25 minutes including the extra time.
Man City now has a challenging PL schedule leading to Everton, Arsenal, West Ham and Manchester United.
