Pep Guardiola to miss two Man City games after emergency back surgery

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is set to miss the club's next two Premier League Games after undergoing emergency surgery on a back injury.

The Premier League champions wrote in a statement on Tuesday that the 52-year-old was suffering from "severe" back pain and had flown back to Barcelona for a "routine operation".

"Everyone at Manchester City wishes Pep a speedy recovery, and look forward to seeing him back in Manchester soon," the club's post added, also confirming that assistant manager Juanma Lillo will take care of first-team training until Guardiola is fit to return.

Lillo will also oversee City's next two Premier League games, against Sheffield United and Fulham, from the touchlin. Meanwhile, Guardiola, who will rehabilitate his injury back in Barcelona, is expected to resume normal duties after the September international break.

Guardiola has overseen a fast start from City as they bid to win a fifth Premier League title in six seasons. Burnley were swatted to one side on the opening day of the season, as City ran out 3-0 winners at Turf Moor, before Newcastle United were beaten by Julian Alvarez's goal in Saturday's late Game.

The United States' most populous city has struggled to contend with the arrival of over 120,000 asylum-seekers in the past year. About 60,000 are currently in shelter s run by the city, which is legally required to provide emergency housing to homeless people. The obligation is unmatched in any other major U.S. city.

Migrants, many of whom don't have legal authorization to work, can reapply for shelter if they can't find...
