Oscar Bobb Returns to Training
Positive Update on Bobb
Oscar Bobb has resumed partial training with Manchester City, marking a hopeful step in his recovery from a broken leg sustained just before the Premier League season commenced. Manager Pep Guardiola confirmed the news during a press conference, expressing optimism about Bobb's return to the squad.
Impact of Bobb's Injury
Initially, Bobb was expected to play a vital role in the team's campaign, particularly after the departure of Julian Alvarez to Atletico Madrid. His impressive performances in pre-season friendlies and the Community Shield highlighted his potential as a key player for City.
Guardiola's Remarks
Guardiola acknowledged the importance of Bobb's recovery, stating, "Oscar is partially training with the team again. This is good news for us." However, he was unable to provide a timeline for Bobb's full return, noting that while the fracture has healed, further conditioning work is necessary.
Upcoming Challenges
As City gears up for upcoming fixtures, including a crucial FA Cup match against Salford City, the return of Bobb could provide a much-needed boost to the squad. Guardiola emphasized the need for the team to maintain focus and prepare thoroughly for the challenges ahead.
