Man City fans bemoan luck after triple injury blow vs Chelsea

Some Manchester City fans took to Twitter to vent their frustration after Pep Guardiola was forced to make three changes during the second half of the champions' win over Chelsea.

Rodri was withdrawn shortly after the break before David Silva and Sergio Aguero also limped off, leaving Guardiola without the possibility for a tactical substitution beyond the 76th minute.

City were already without long-term absentees Aymeric Laporte and Leroy Sane as well as Oleksandr Zinchenko going into the game against Chelsea, and now Guardiola will be sweating on the fitness of three more first-teamers ahead of a hectic period in the season.

City play eight times in all competitions between now and Christmas as they aim to keep their assault on all four trophies alive.

Guardiola will be desperate to have as many players as possible available for that run of fixtures and City supporters, understandably, aren't exactly feeling overjoyed by the situation.

We sense that's not a genuine smile.

SMH.

So unlucky.

Not good.

Injury FC.

It needs fixing.

Hate to see it.
