“Ederson, Nathan Ake, Sergio Gomez, Rodri, and Erling Haaland were all back in ManCity training today after respective injury/fitness issues.”
Did anyone not see this coming? Seems it’s a regular occurrence where City players will say they are “injured” to miraculously recover in a week after getting to fly back early.
Ake and gomez have been out for weeks, why would they miss games to fake an injury to miss internationals? That’s a beyond stupid suggestion.
Rodri and haaland both reported for international duty, both picked up knocks on international duty and both played for their national sides. The complete opposite of your suggestion.
Ederson, nunes and kovacic all pulled out of international duty injured, 2 of those are currently still unavailable and unlikely to be involved this weekend.
So there’s literally one player, a goalkeeper no less who doesn’t really need rest, who got injured during the chelsea game with a minor knock who missed international duty and looks to be available.
You might want to come up with more solid examples if you’re going to come up with tin foil hat conspiracies.
