Manchester City's head coach Pep Guardiola commented on the difficult situation before traveling to Norway for the Champions League match against the local team Bodo/Glimt.
Despite serious personnel problems, the club's leader remains optimistic. "We have arrived in Norway for one of the key tournament matches, although our lineup is seriously limited," Guardiola stated.
Team Composition and Squad Challenges
The coach reported several challenges before the match:
- The list of injured core players continues to grow
- Winter newcomers Marc Cucurella and Antoine Semenyo cannot participate in the match
Positive News
The only optimistic moment was Phil Foden's readiness. Despite a hand bone fracture sustained in the derby against Manchester United, the player flew with the team and is ready to take the field.
"Phil is a true fighter. His presence is very important for the team in such a difficult moment," Guardiola emphasized.
The coach especially stressed that Bodo/Glimt is a specific opponent, especially on their home field, but the team is determined to fight for points.
