Meanwhile, Guardiola was quoted by www.mancity.com saying, “Gabriel will be out for between four to six weeks, or a little bit longer, but hopefully as soon as possible. As for Kevin, he told me he wanted to play tonight. He was in pain because it was a kick he received, but if he wants to play, I want him to play. Nothing will change my opinion about his quality, everyone knows about his quality. Kevin wanted to play. Everyone will try to follow his desire.”
