Pep Guardiola admitted his disappointment even as Manchester City ended a seven-game winless run after Nathan Ake and Manuel Akanji suffered injuries as the

Citizens thrashed Nottingham Forest 3-0 on Wednesday and moved back into the top four.

However, Guardiola was less than delighted after losing two defenders, ยูฟ่าเบท with Akanji substituted at half-time and Nathan Ake late on.

Even before this four-game losing streak, City were riding their luck. The four games before included a controversial John Stones goal to beat Wolves in the last minute, a slender one-goal win against Southampton and another tense victory against Fulham, where Adama Traore should have scored a hat-trick. It has been far from convincing.

Even Guardiola admitted it, after this latest loss to Brighton. “Against Fulham, we played so much worse than against Spurs and Sporting,” he said.

“Nathan’s injury doesn’t look good, we will see tomorrow. Manu has been struggling for the last two months. I have to thank them for their effort! We will see in three days,” Guardiola said. “

I am sorry for Nathan but we will see. I think Manu will not play at Selhurst Park (against Crystal Palace) but he could be in Turin (against Juventus), but we will see. And I think Nathan will be out for a longer period. “

Phil (Foden) has bronchitis so unless he has a fever or anything He will be ready to go on the field.”
