“I said several times, when we won the Premier League in the previous season, we always had problems, and we always had injuries, but not this amazing amount.

“I don’t know when the team can maintain the best player in the world (Rodri) throughout the season, and the best player in the Premier League last season – Phil (Foden) suffered problems in the injury. De Bruyne finally returned.

For example, (James) Makti and Nico Aurelli did not play and in the recent period they played, why did they not play, I ask myself now.
