Liverpool FC fans accuse Pep Guardiola of mind games after Ruben Dias Man City injury update
17.03.2022 - 16:07 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Liverpool fans have been rolling their eyes after learning that Ruben Dias is back in training two weeks after Manchester City said the defender would be out for up to six weeks with a hamstring injury.
The Portugal centre-half has missed City’s last three games after suffering the set-back following the 1-0 win over Everton at the end of February. In that time, Liverpool have closed the title-race gap to just a point following Wednesday’s 2-0 win over Arsenal.
But City posted a photo on their Instagram account on Thursday morning showing Dias back in training, much earlier than expected. The sight is sure to concern Liverpool fans, many of them accusing Pep Guardiola and his staff of purposely overestimating his recovery time in a battle of mind games.
