The first appearance of Gonzalez for the club lasted 22 minutes before being withdrawn with a problem during the fourth round victory of the FA Cup 2-1 on the third Leyton Orient level on Saturday, and the manager Pep Guardiola hopes that the Spanish will have recovered.

Manager Carlo Ancelotti was already without Dani Carvajal, Eder Militao, David Alaba and Antonio Rudiger in the back, so that the majority of the visitors’ defense could be composed of uncommon players with their positions.
Ancelotti congratulated Raul Asencio, 21, and Aurélien Tchouameni – generally a midfielder – for their performances to the central defender against Atli.
