City Misses Chances, Faces Chelsea Amid Injury Woes

The team expressed significant disappointment following their latest match, acknowledging a failure to convert scoring opportunities despite a more dominant second-half display. The coach noted that the team's approach in the first half didn't facilitate creating clear chances, but praised the players' commitment and desire in the latter period.

Concerns have been amplified by recent injuries to key players. Gonzalez was substituted at halftime due to an earlier injury, and Savinho also required an early second-half substitution, with his condition described as "does not look good." These setbacks add to the challenge of preparing for their next fixture.

Despite the setback and the players' current low spirits, the coach stressed the importance of maintaining a positive outlook. The team has less than 72 hours to regroup before facing Chelsea at home on Sunday. This match was set to be a reunion for former assistant coach Enzo Maresca, though he was recently dismissed by Chelsea.
