Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, will have to make do without four crucial players in Saturday’s Community Shield clash with Manchester United.
The missing players are Rodri, Kyle Walker, John Stones, and Phil Foden.
As reported by City Xtra, this quartet is not anticipated to be back in training until the following week.
Rodri, Walker, Stones, and Foden all featured in the Euro 2024 final and were subsequently granted some time off.
On a positive note, Kevin De Bruyne has returned to training and might feature against United as Guardiola’s side aims to start the season on a high note with some silverware.
In the 2023 edition of the Community Shield, City succumbed to defeat at the hands of Arsenal in a penalty shootout.
