Man City hit with food poisoning scare following Real Madrid trip
This article discusses Manchester City’s concerns regarding the possibility of illness impacting their performance during a pivotal period of their season. The team was reportedly worried about a potential food poisoning outbreak following their trip to Spain to face Real Madrid in the Champions League. Star midfielder Kevin De Bruyne missed the first leg of the quarter-final due to illness, which he believed was caused by something he ate in the team hotel before the match. This raised concerns within the team, as players and staff often have the same meals on matchdays and follow a strict diet plan.
Pep Guardiola expressed concern about the situation, stating that De Bruyne was unwell and may not be able to play. However, the team was ultimately relieved that De Bruyne’s illness was isolated and did not affect any of his teammates. De Bruyne has since returned to full training, while injured players Kyle Walker and Nathan Ake are expected to remain sidelined. Following a draw against Real Madrid, midfielder Phil Foden suffered a “dead leg” after a strong challenge, but reassured supporters that he hopes to recover in time for the team’s upcoming matches.
