Speaking in a post-match press conference via the Manchester Evening News, manager Pep Guardiola has confirmed that defender Eric Garcia is responsive and conscious following his collision with Ederson – prompting plenty of City supporters to applaud the ‘promising‘ player update.
Garcia, starting just his third Premier League game for the Sky Blues this season, played alongside star defender Aymeric Laporte as we returned for our first footballing encounter since the global pandemic.
While the match ended in a comfortable 3-0 victory for City, with goals from Raheem Sterling, Kevin De Bruyne and Phil Foden sealing an evening back to remember, Garcia had to be stretchered off minutes from full-time after a nasty collision with Ederson.
