The Brazilian, who had been a constant threat throughout the game, was immediately substituted, with Matheus Nunes taking his place in stoppage time.
Savinho’s fitness will be a key talking point in the days leading up to City’s UEFA Champions League opener against Inter Milan.
Following the match, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola did not provide any specific update on Savinho’s condition.
He wasn’t questioned about the winger’s fitness during the post-match press conference, leaving fans and analysts to speculate on the extent of the injury.
The next possible update from Guardiola will likely come during his pre-match briefing ahead of the Champions League clash.
Savinho’s performance against Brentford was impressive, with his dribbling skills and attacking play posing a constant threat to the opposition. Alongside Haaland, he was one of City’s standout players.
While he didn’t find the back of the net, his creativity and ability to open up Brentford’s defense were critical in securing the victory.
With fellow winger Oscar Bobb sidelined for an extended period, any potential injury to Savinho could be a significant blow for City.
The team will be hoping for a positive update on his condition, as the Brazilian has become an important player in Guardiola’s system, especially with crucial fixtures on the horizon.
Man City fans will anxiously await further news, hoping that Savinho’s injury is only a minor issue and that he’ll be fit to contribute in the upcoming Champions League encounter.
