But his hopes to make a great breakthrough from the first team were destroyed when he broke his leg in training last August. After an abandoned return in February, he only played in April.

Guardiola, having already supervised the arrival of four new players this summer, said that some players should leave before the new Premier League season, but Bobb does not plan to be one of them.
Bobb said, “I expect to be here. I think that’s how I have to look at it and try to impress every chance that I have.

“I want to play as much as possible, be decisive and play in big games.
“This is a new start for me as well as for the team and I think that from now on, we can simply build.
“I think I’m ready now but we have 27 players. If I have the chance to play – it doesn’t matter how long – I’m going to take it.”
City is already assured of a place in the last 16 after winning its first two games in group G by a global score of 8-0.
However, they remain behind Juventus on the goals scored and have to beat the Italians in Orlando on Thursday to exceed the swimming pool and avoid a meeting with the winners of the Real Madrid group in the next round.

Although there is a possibility of thunderstorms, the match should take place in the hottest game of the day with the kick -off at 3 p.m., the local time, when the temperature should reach 32 ° C.
Bobb insists that the team will be ready with the preparations that have gone well and that the spirits are raised in their training base in Boca Raton on the south-eastern coast of Florida.
He said, “He’s warmer than we are used to, but it’s the same for everyone. We train in this heat and we have to get used to it, because it will be like that.
“We have an excellent hotel. There is a lot to do. There is basketball, table tennis and there are obviously a lot of games, so we stay watching them.
“I think it was great to see teams from all over the world to manage so well and a lot of competition, so it was good.”
