Manchester City defender Nathan Ake has recently undergone surgery for a long-term foot issue, compounding the club's injury challenges, as he joins teammates Manuel Akanji and John Stones on the sidelines. Despite previous injuries, Ake opted for surgery to address a persistent foot fracture. He expressed optimism about his recovery, sharing on Instagram that he looks forward to the future post-operation. The club's dwindling defensive options led to the signing of young prospect Abdukodir Khusanov from Lens, who has quickly made an impression under Pep Guardiola, as well as Vitor Reis, who remains as an unused substitute in the Premier League.
This has been such a frustrating season for me but I have now had a successful surgery on a fracture in my foot which has been bothering me for months and I am looking positively to the future.
City's problems at centre-back this season prompted the winter pursuit of Abdukodir Khusanov from Lens. The talented but raw 20-year-old is the first player from Uzbekistan in the Premier League.
