Manchester City head coach Pep Guardiola has addressed why Abdukodir Khusanov, the young footballer from Uzbekistan, has yet to make an appearance in recent matches, according to the club’s press service.
Guardiola reassured fans that Khusanov’s opportunity will come, stating that his absence from the pitch is not a reflection of his long-term potential.
«One of the reasons was that Khusanov had already received a yellow card, and I didn’t want to take any risks,» said Guardiola.
The 20-year-old defender has now missed eight consecutive matches for Manchester City. On May 2, City narrowly defeated Wolverhampton 1–0, with Khusanov once again on the bench.
Kursiv Uzbekistan also reports how Uzbek footballer Abdukodir Khusanov broke into Manchester City.
