Ferran Torres Injury Update, News And Report, Know His Return Date
After scoring twice against Italy, Torres found himself uncomfortable with his foot as he sustained the injury. Despite the injury, Luis Enrique decided to play him against France, and they ended up losing all thanks to Mbappe’s controversial goal. Spain’s international break for this month is over and they will be playing Greece on 12th November in the World Cup qualifiers.
Torres is out for a minimum of six months, meaning he will miss out on the next international break. Spain has a history of lacking no.9 players and mostly they come up with false number 9. Torres does the false number 9 role for both his national team and Manchester City.
Gabriel Jesus is the only proper striker in Manchester City’s squad and Guardiola doesn’t always play Brazilian. Instead, he opts for false 9 and he has been following this since the previous season. This season, he has chosen Torres for the role as the 21-years old featured in 4 Premier League appearances out of seven.
Torres’s injury means Guardiola will now be concerned and maybe he will be forced to be Jesus for the upcoming month. Torres scored 7 goals last season in 24 appearances for City including a hat-trick. This season he has scored 2 goals and assisted once in 4 appearances.

German midfielder Ikay Gundogan is suffering from a hamstring injury and he is one of the key players on the team. Oleksandr Zinchenko will also miss few games for Manchester City.
