A bit harsh to put it like that, he's the captain of his national team, clearly that is very important to him and he'll want another shot at the World Cup. If he was less passionate about playing maybe he wouldn't have been as influential for City in the past?After the amount of football he's missed for City over the years due to injury he should maybe think about his employers first now instead of his own glory, the more he plays more chance of injury, he should retire imho, if he comes back injured it could royally screw our season.
If one CB injury screws our season then the blame falls squarely on our recruitment strategy rather than an individual player.
