Now, we are not going to say that Manchester City’s success stands or falls on Oscar Bobb, but there is little doubt Pep Guardiola had counted on the Norwegian international, especially after Julian Alvarez disappeared to Atletico Madrid. Bobb showed himself in the friendly matches, was behind delicious assists in the Community Shield match, then came the leg fracture just before the start of the Premier League. Now comes sparkling good news from the City manager and a picture that confirms it.
“Oscar is partly training with the team again. This is good news for us,” Guardiola said at the press conference before the game against Brentford on Monday.
When the return to the match arena comes, the City manager can say little about that.
“I don’t know when he will be back. There was a bone fracture, a fracture, and it’s already healed, so that’s good. Now it’s about physical fitness, but it’s good news that he’s back,” Guardiola said.
