Nico Gonzalez was forced off 20 minutes into his debut after appearing to pick up an injury in the action where he was dispossessed for the opening goal at Brisbane Road. City were unhappy it was not given as a foul, but were more concerned with the state of their £50m signing who is expected to fill Rodri’s position for the rest of the season.
Nico Gonzalez injury is the latest for Manchester City
Nico Gonzalez injury allowed him to be trained on Monday afternoon ahead of Manchester City‘s clash in Champions League with Real Madrid after shrugging off a knock he picked up at Leyton Orient.
Jeremy Doku, Ederson, Nathan Ake all missed the FA Cup win at the weekend but were present on Monday alongside Gonzalez. Oscar Bobb and Mathues Nunes were the only senior pair absent from the 15 minute section open to the media.
Initial indications gave Pep Guardiola hope that Gonzalez would be available for this Champions League game and the 23-year-old was part of the group that were out training at the City Football Academy as they prepared for the match.
