Torres is now likely to be on the sidelines until around December and with the Citizens set for a domestic clash against rivals Manchester United and also a European tie against Paris-Saint Germain, Guardiola will now be sent back to the tactical drawing board.
It isn’t just Manchester City who will suffer from Torres’ absence though – his country will now be without him for their final two competitive international matches before next year’s World Cup 2022.
Spain is set to face Greece and Sweden before the end of next month and although they’re nailed on to qualify, Torres’ absence from Luis Enrique’s tactical plans will be far from ideal as the country looks to build another championship-winning side.
