Man City injury update: Nico Gonzalez, Ruben Dias and Rodri latest news and return dates Manchester City were dealt a fresh injury blow during their FA Cup win over Leyton Orient on Saturday.
Pep Guardiola’s side narrowly avoided a huge upset as they came from behind to beat Orient 2-1 but new signing Nico Gonzalez was forced off on his debut.
“The plan was for Ruben just 45 minutes after coming from injury and I didn't want to play the two new players at the same time," said Guardiola.
Losing Gonzalez was a major concern for City as focus shifts to Tuesday’s huge Champions League play-off first-leg clash with Real Madrid.
Guardiola said afterwards that the midfielder “could not continue”, though he was reportedly spotted among the rest of the City substitutes after getting treatment.
