“It’s a big blow. But we need to move on. I’m not saying no one knows how important it is.
“Unfortunately for him and us, he will be out for an important part of the season and we need to find a solution because everyone is struggling in this situation and we need to change. ”
The City boss also revealed the latest updates about Kyle Walker and Nathan Ake.
Walker had to come off against Villa after suffering a concussion and Pep said: “Kyle had a big impact kick in his hip, but just a kick, so it’s not available tomorrow but we’re wishes he will be available for the next game.
“Nathan isn’t ready yet, but Aymeric came back to training and Eric came back to training as well.”
Sergio Aguero has been alone after he was diagnosed with Coronavirus.
Pep revealed: “What we want right now is for Sergio to feel better.
“He felt uncomfortable in the first three days after a positive test. He was feeling very tired, with every sign you get.
“We hope he can return soon. Step by step in training. For a long time we have been missing our best fighter. “
No other injuries or absences were reported to the squad by the City commander.
