Is there no one on Stadium/coach watch??

Liverpool fans do coach watch

 

[give it to gordon]

so are City technically 6 players( i think ) short for todays match through the pandemic plus backroom staff and people still think the integrity of the league in intact ? 6 injuries is one thing but a pandemic

 

[waspish]

Well we will hear after they mention our half dozen players out with covid with

“if there is one team who can cope with players out with covid, it’s Man City”

 

[bluealf]

Probably not. Supposedly heading to Blackburn on loan so I'm guessing he won't be risked.

I fear the worst then, have any of our loans to Blackburn came back a roaring success? :/

Pardon my ignorance and laziness but who all are we without?

Yes I believe you are correct and one assumes Garcia has come from the latest set of tests screened for Covid.

Given his leg injury although I could be wrong I assume he wasn't training with the main squad hence the decision to play the match today.

Wonder if he has picked it up from someone outside the club one would think so and he has given it to a physio or someone of that ilk.

The other five would be in isolation but again this testing regime and the bubble the teams are supposedly in is by no means sufficient to ensure maximum safety for the players.

its nailed on we will get more and ruin our season unless the league places a halt on all games.

We will know soon but
Ederson, torres(not confirmed yet/rumoured), Gabby, walker, Doyle and Eric Gracia

 

[kaz7]

Presume they’ve had the latest Covid test results and no more positives to report?

Eric junior but he is injuried and not with the squad

 

[SWPISHOME]

Hopefully they all get well soon and it's only a mild case that they have.

The Premier League ought to be ashamed of themselves putting money ahead of health.

Scumbags.

This game should be called off and football put a stop to.

 

[DMA's]

We will know soon but
Ederson, torres(not confirmed yet/rumoured), Gabby, walker, Doyle and one EDS player

Think Eric Garcia has it as well but he has supposedly not been near the squad so I guess he is still injured
