Guardiola: Injuries won't force Man City to make January buys
The HinduPep Guardiola claims Manchester City's recent injury problems will not persuade the Premier League champion to enter the January transfer market. READ| Guardiola without Rodri but allays fears over lengthy Zinchenko lay-off "After the international break – November, December, January, February – yeah, I am a little bit concerned because in a few positions we do not have enough players," he told reporters ahead of Saturday's Premier League match at home to Aston Villa. " Knee operations in each of the past two seasons left Benjamin Mendy sidelined and gave Zinchenko – a midfielder by trade – a chance to establish himself in Guardiola's plans at left-back. After Zinchenko's surgery to "clean the knee", as Guardiola put it, the roles are now reversed, with France international Mendy having a chance to put a run of games together.
