But Pep Guardiola was handed a huge injury scare ahead of a big week in which City face Real Madrid in the Champions League and Liverpool in the Premier League.
Jack Grealish missed the Newcastle game with the hip injury he suffered in last week’s 3-2 defeat to Real Madrid.
Like Dias, Nathan Ake also sat of the Newcastle game, having been replaced after an hour against Real Madrid.
But it is not believed to be a serious injury for Dias, who City will hope to have back for the trip to Madrid.
Rodri was included in the club's squad for the Champions League knockout phase after his side hinted that he could return to action this campaign despite the initial expectation that he would be out for the entire season.
