“Ederson, Nathan Ake, Sergio Gomez, Rodri, and Erling Haaland were all back in ManCity training today after respective injury/fitness issues.”

Did anyone not see this coming? Seems it’s a regular occurrence where City players will say they are “injured” to miraculously recover in a week after getting to fly back early.

    What do you think the Gravenberch beef with the Netherlands national team is? He refused a call up and they’re excluding him now.

      Probably that even when he did go as part of the squad he wasn’t played so was a waste of time. His best chance to get in the squad was probably get up to speed with Liverpool then try and compete.

        In the previous comment you said all players shouldn’t decline call ups because it’s disrespectful….

          I think there’s a difference between being a starter and important part of the team Vs a rotation player that’s never played. Gravenberch hasn’t made an appearance for Netherlands since 2021. There’s clearly something else there that isn’t just about fitness
