'So sad' - Pep Guardiola offers devastating Oscar Bobb injury update after Man City star impresses in pre-season

Bobb starred for Guardiola's Manchester City side during pre-season in the United States. However, he suffered a leg fracture during training and will now be out for the opening months of the season. Guardiola has spoken up about the 21-year-old's unfortunate injury.

Speaking to the media, Guardiola said: "It was in the training session. Unfortunately, he had a big impact and got injured. He is having surgery this afternoon. Hopefully, it will go well and he will be back in 3/4 months. We are so sad for him - not because of his incredible pre-season, that doesn’t matter - but because any time there is a long injury. We are looking forward to seeing him again soon."

The Norwegian international has now made his way to Barcelona for surgery on the injury under Dr. Ramon Cugat, and it is anticipated that he will miss the first three to four months of the season. Bobb will likely return to action in 2025.

Due to Bobb's injury and the club-record sale of Julian Alvarez to Atletico Madrid, Manchester City may now look to the transfer market in the remaining weeks of the window to find a replacement.
