"City announced on Monday that Gvardiol sustained a tibial fracture in the 1-1 draw with the Blues, a result that left them six points adrift of Premier League leaders Arsenal. It is unclear how long Gvardiol faces on the sidelines, with the City statement reading in part: "The defender will have surgery later this week and assessment remains ongoing to ascertain the full extent of the injury and expected prognosis.""
"With Ruben Dias also suffering an injury against Chelsea and John Stones already sidelined, City are reportedly stepping up their interest in Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi. City were thought to be waiting to learn the full extent of the injuries to Gvardiol and Dias before making a decision on whether to pursue Guehi. Yet the confirmation of the nature of the injury to the versatile Gvardiol, who can operate as both a centre-back and a full-back, may now lead them to make their move."
Josko Gvardiol sustained a tibial fracture in the 1-1 draw with Chelsea and will undergo surgery later in the week. The club stated that assessment remains ongoing to ascertain the full extent of the injury and expected prognosis. Gvardiol has played 23 games this season, scoring twice and providing four assists. With Ruben Dias injured and John Stones already sidelined, Manchester City are reportedly stepping up interest in Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi. Guehi was close to joining Liverpool previously, and Palace may sell him rather than lose him on a free transfer when his contract expires.
