Man City’s 1-2 defeat to Tottenham in the Carabao Cup round of 16 left many sad echoes, especially when Savinho suffered a serious injury and had to leave the field on a stretcher.

According to the Telegraph, Savinho, Man City’s rising Brazilian rookie, suffered a serious ankle injury, causing fans to worry and leaving a big gap in the “The Citizens” squad. Against Tottenham, Man City also lost 1-2.

The loss of Savinho is a heavy loss for Man City, especially in the context of coach Pep Guardiola’s squad facing difficulties with a series of consecutive injuries and a shortage of personnel after selling striker Julián Álvarez. Savinho is considered one of Man City’s most potential contracts this season, quickly integrating and showing excellent ability when contributing significantly to the team’s attacking style.

The possibility of Savinho being out for a long time has fans worried about the negative impact on Man City’s season.

Coach Guardiola once stated that Man City did not put the Carabao Cup as a priority, but the current situation makes this statement even more bitter. The Manchester team is facing many difficulties in maintaining its strength for major tournaments such as the Premier League and Champions League.

In the context of a shortage of squad, losing Savinho will put great pressure on Man City’s attack. This is an unfortunate step back for Guardiola’s team’s ambitions, especially when the team is trying to maintain their form and go deep in the most important arenas this season.
