Bad News for Man City despite beating Man Utd at Old Trafford

Manchester City took the driving seat on the Premier League table as they displace Liverpool form the top spot after their 2-0 win over their City rivals Manchester United at the Old Trafford. Despite the fact that Cityzens fans should be in a celebratory mood but this joy has been cut short after the news concerning one of their most important players who got injured in the game.

Manchester City midfielder Fernandinho is unsure of the severity of his knee injury as he prepares to undergo a scan on Thursday. The midfielder is set to have a scan on the injury he suffered in the derby win over United. The Brazil international, 33, came off in the second half of City’s 2-0 derby win over Manchester United that returned them to the top of the Premier League table.

Already without the injured Kevin De Bruyne, City could now lose Fernandinho with four games remaining in their season. Fernandinho said he would have to wait for the results of a scan to know the severity of the injury scare. The last time the former Shakhtar Donetsk and De Bruyne were missing in Guardiola’s side it was a disastrous period as they felt the presence of both players thus dropping points along the line that throw the title race open.

“We will see tomorrow [Thursday]. We are going to make the scan and we will see. I will talk to the doctor and he will make the best decision for everybody,” he said. “When I blocked the shot from Paul [Pogba] I felt my knee. It twisted a little bit. I could continue playing but I came off. That’s what it is.”

Guardiola will be hoping Fernandinho and De Bruyne will be back before their next crucial games as they hope to cement their place on the Premier League table.

City are a point clear of Liverpool with three league matches remaining, the first of which is a trip to Burnley on Sunday. After that, they’ll take on Leicester City before finishing up against Brighton to close the season.

In addition, City face an FA Cup final, where they’ll face Watford in the finale. Meanwhile, Liverpool will face Huddersfield, Newcastle and Wolves to conclude their Premier League campaign.

Do you think Manchester City will be able to cope without Kevin De Bruyne and Fernandinho in their battle to beat Liverpool to the Premier League title? Share your view on this in the comment section below… Thanks

Meet The Man Who Sold Nigeria To The British For £865k In 1899

This is the story of the first oil war, which was fought in the 19th century, in the area that became Nigeria. All through the 19th century, palm oil was highly sought-after by the British, for use as an industrial lubricant for machinery. Remember that Britain was the world’s first industrialised nation, so they needed resources such as palm oil to maintain that. King Koko Palm oil, of course, is a tropical plant, which is native to the Niger Delta. Malaysia’s dominance came a century later. By 1870, palm oil had replaced slaves as the main export of the Niger Delta, the area which was once known as the Slave Coast. At first, most of the trade in the oil palm was uncoordinated, with natives selling to those who gave them the best deals. Native chiefs such as former slave, Jaja of Opobo became immensely wealthy because of oil palm. With this wealth came influence. However, among the Europeans, there was competition for who would get preferential access to the lucr...
