It has already been a successful start to the season for Manchester City and Pep Guardiola. Although they lost the Community Shield on penalties, they won their first European Super Cup last week against Sevilla.
On Monday, Guardiola was spotted in Manchester on the receiving end of a parking ticket. However, less than 24 hours later, he has undergone emergency surgery back in his hometown of Barcelona.
Pep Guardiola has today undergone a routine operation on a back problem.
Everyone at Manchester City wishes Pep a speedy recovery, and look forward to seeing him back in Manchester soon.

As reported by Relevo, Guardiola has had discomfort in his back for some time, but the issue got so bad that he had to go under the knife in order to rectify it.
The ex-Barcelona head coach will now undergo a rest period for the next two weeks at least. As a result, he will not be present at Man City’s next two Premier League fixtures, against Sheffield United and Fulham. There is no doubt that he will be a massive miss for the Cityzens.
