Ruben Dias injury adds to Manchester City problems Manchester City have suffered a fresh injury blow with defender Ruben Dias ruled out for up to four weeks.
Dias, who had a spell out in November with a calf injury, suffered discomfort in the latter stages of last weekend’s derby loss to Manchester United.
City have also had some useful breathing space since their late derby capitulation – when they conceded twice in the closing minutes to lose 2-1 – having not had a midweek fixture.
Manager Pep Guardiola has also revealed goalkeeper Ederson is doubtful for Saturday’s Premier League trip to Aston Villa.
On the positive side, defender John Stones and midfielder Mateo Kovacic were on the bench against United and are back in contention.
