Manchester City is navigating a challenging phase in the Premier League, with injuries to pivotal players impacting their performance. Manager Pep Guardiola has expressed the necessity of having his full squad available to regain the team's competitive edge.

Guardiola stated, "The solution to our problems is to have my players back, and we will shine again. But that's not possible at the moment, and I think we have to continue like this for a long time." He acknowledged the relentless efforts of the club's medical team, noting, "Our doctors, physiotherapists, and everyone in the medical staff are working incredibly hard this season, in a way I've never seen before."

Despite the setbacks, Guardiola remains focused on the challenges ahead, urging his players to adopt a resilient mindset. He mentioned, "I told my players they shouldn't feel sad or ashamed. They must accept this challenge because it will get even harder, and perhaps in the end, we'll have more satisfaction from the path we took and how we handled these problems compared to seasons when we won the Premier League."

Addressing the issue of misfortune, Guardiola remarked, "It's not about being unlucky. This is what happens. Life is like this, and we have to accept it. This is the challenge we have, and the players must understand and deal with it well."
