Pep Guardiola has warned that Manchester City players may need to push through pain due to a growing injury crisis within the squad. With nine first-team players potentially sidelined for the upcoming match against Bournemouth, the situation is becoming increasingly challenging. Key players such as Rodri, Oscar Bobb, and Kevin De Bruyne are dealing with long-term injuries, while Jack Grealish, Jérémy Doku, and Kyle Walker are unlikely to return before the international break. Additionally, Josko Gvardiol, Savinho, and Manuel Akanji are also doubts for the trip to Bournemouth on Saturday. Guardiola emphasized the need for fit players to step up and play through discomfort, stating, "Sometimes if you have problems, you have to play." The manager's comments highlight the difficult circumstances facing the team as they navigate this injury crisis.
