Pep Guardiola has given an update on defender Nathan Ake, who was absent from Manchester City’s victory over Arsenal.
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has provided an update on defender Nathan Ake’s recovery from a hamstring injury.
Ake was notably absent from the Cityzens’ recent victory over Arsenal, but Guardiola has expressed hope that the Dutchman will be fit for their upcoming Champions League semi-final matches against Real Madrid.
In his statement, Guardiola noted that Ake’s symptoms have improved and that he is “much better.” While Ake is not yet training with the team, Guardiola expressed confidence that his return is imminent, stating that he “won’t be (much) longer.”
The absence of Ake, who joined Manchester City from Bournemouth in 2020, has been felt by the team in recent matches. However, Guardiola’s statement will be a source of encouragement for Cityzens fans, who are hoping to see the defender back in action as the team continues its pursuit of a historic treble this season.
