Guardiola: We are 'in trouble' with mounting injury list

Manchester City manager Spanish Pep Guardiola expressed his happiness over Man City's 3-1 comeback win over the Serbian Red Star at the beginning of the journey to defend the Champions League title. Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola said his side are now "in trouble" after Portuguese midfielder Bernardo Silva joined the club's lengthy injury list. However, coming in a period where City has three more Premier League games, including a trip to Arsenal on 8 October, a Carabao Cup tie at Newcastle, and another Champions League outing, at RB Leipzig, before the next international break, Guardiola says "we are in trouble". "We are in trouble but I am not going to say 'Oh, we have a lot of injuries'. It is what it is," said Guardiola "With the players we have, we will go for it. As long as we have that mentality, that is good. Guardiola also explained that he took off Bernardo Silva before half-time as he had picked up an injury which will now rule him out of Saturday's game at home to Nottingham Forest. City has a long list of injured players including Jack Grealish, Kevin De Bruyne, and Mateo Kovacic and Guardiola admitted: "We are in trouble."
