Nathan Ake, the Manchester City defender, has undergone surgery for a fractured left foot, which could sideline him for 10 to 11 weeks. This injury has limited his appearances this season to just 18, impacting the team as they strive for a Champions League spot. Manager Pep Guardiola emphasized the seriousness of the surgery and the challenges Ake has faced. While Ake may miss the Premier League finale on May 25, he could return for the Nations League semi-final, contingent on the Netherlands' qualification, and future Club World Cup matches in the US.
"When it is surgery, it is pretty serious. When you have surgery it is because something wrong happened. It is important it was done. He has struggled."
"Ten or 11 weeks they [the club's medical team] said to me." This prognosis means Ake will do well to feature when City travel to Fulham for their final Premier League game of the season on 25 May.
