Training Ground Injuries Mounting Up

It has been less than a week since we heard of Kevin DeBruyne's training ground injury. Hosting Huddersfield Town at the Etihad went off without a hitch, despite being short one of our most influential players. It was a great illustration of the depth of the squad with Pep Guardiola opting to leave Walker, Sterling, Sane and Mahrez on the bench.

The issue now becomes, with the transfer window already closed for English sides, how will we deal with the season ending injury to Claudio Bravo. The second choice goalkeeper for the Blues didn't have the best of first seasons with City. Last season though, with him out of the spotlight, he was massive in our journey towards the Carabao Cup progress and eventual trophy lift.

Manchester City: Change Of Hart

Fans of every club will have their own favorites. Players who come to your club, give their all and become the fabric of the side. As City fans we went through this emotional wrench as we bid farewell to Pablo Zabaletta. The honorary Manc joined City pre takeover, if only by a day. Rejecting Juventus in order to play for Manchester City, he never expected to stay so long or achieve so much.

This week there was a somewhat weird farewell to another legend, Joe Hart. Born in April 19th 1987 in Shrewsbury, Joe joined City from his home town side in 2006. A fee, at the time reported to be between ￡600k and ￡1.5 million, apparently was closer to ￡100k. Bargain!
