Manchester City have once again shown their prowess in hiring the best talent. The club may have gone with very few transfers this summer window, but they’ve got one gem of a player through the Brazilian Savinho. The 20-year-old is cruising with confidence and has become a regular part of Pep Guardiola’s set-up. But, after playing the whole 90 minutes he was substituted in the 2nd minute of the stoppage for Matheus Nunes. However, it looked a bit more serious drawing concerns from the supporters.

It appeared that the English champions received a blow heading into an accelerated phase of the season. Savinho was seen holding his left hamstring in pain with a painful expression before being substituted. Not much is known about the severity of the issue, but more news about the youngster’s situation could come up from the City camp if it’s an injury. Nevertheless, Pep did not bring up the matter after the game.

Coming to the game, the former Girona loanee, was again impressive with his ability to attract a few players. He is also making his mark in handling duels, but his passing a few final balls in today’s game did not turn out as expected. Regardless, the focus once again was in the center where Erling Haaland’s brace sealed the victory against a competitive Brentford side. But things could get tough from here and the team from Manchester will need a full squad.

Meanwhile, Savinho has already had an issue with his leg early on in the season. He did not feature for Manchester City in their game against West Ham United after suffering a knee injury as reports suggested. The winger was also taken off in the second half of the opener against Chelsea due to a similar knee issue according to reports. Despite all the injury concerns South American star is expected to make it big in

Pep Guardiola’s praises for Savinho hints at how important he is for the club

The former Barcelona coach may not have spoken about Savinho today but has already given his take earlier this season. After the game against Chelsea, the coach revealed his versatility on the flanks, saying, “He can play on both sides. On the left, he has incredible quality and can attack the byline. After that, he is really good at the crosses.”  He further stated, “He will help Erling to score goals,” citing him to be useful for the club’s style of play.

Currently, Guardiola seems to be using him at the right and it’s already working. The São Mateus-born hasn’t scored yet. But Savinho has already featured in the Community Shield final which City won scoring his penalty shot. He also registered two assists until now but his skills and temperament are the things to watch out for. Therefore, he is expected to be a great asset for the Sky Blues this season.
