2) Matija Nastasic (Manchester City)
Out for six weeks – Matija Nastasic’s absence due to injury is a big blow to City
Few would doubt the abilities of the Serbian international, as he partnered Vincent Kompany in the City defence last season. The fact that he debuted for City against Real Madrid at the Bernabeu shows how much trust Roberto Mancini had in the 20-year-old.
Matija made 25 appearances for City last season while effectively removing Joleon Lescott from the starting eleven.
However, a recent injury against Sunderland in a friendly in Hong Kong has ruled out the centre-back for four to six weeks, meaning that City would be without his services for the first month of the Premier League.
Once he’s able to make a comeback, the only direction the big Serb can look unto now is forward.
With the influence of a certain neighboring Serbian defender waning, the former Fiorentina defender will try to give his level best performance during the course of the season and cement his place in the national team.
