"Manchester City will be without Ruben Dias for up to six weeks with a hamstring injury, exacerbating Pep Guardiola's defensive injury crisis. The shortage of centre-backs could force the club into the transfer market, with the Crystal Palace captain, Marc Guehi, of interest. Dias and Josko Gvardiol, who has a broken shinbone, were forced off in Sunday's draw with Chelsea, leaving City with 13 fit senior outfield players for Brighton's visit on Wednesday."
"Gvardiol, who required surgery, is unlikely to play again this season. There is no timeline on a return date for Stones, who has a thigh injury.With the spirit that we have, always we can cope, Guardiola said. Maybe we will get something but it's completely different, we are not going to buy four or five players like happened last season."
Ruben Dias will be out for up to six weeks with a hamstring injury, compounding a defensive crisis at Manchester City. Josko Gvardiol suffered a broken shinbone and required surgery, making him unlikely to play again this season. City were left with 13 fit senior outfield players after Dias and Gvardiol were forced off in the draw with Chelsea. Academy graduate Max Alleyne has been recalled from a Watford loan to bolster options. The club is contemplating a bid for Marc Guehi and is close to signing Antoine Semenyo. John Stones has a thigh injury with no timeline, while Omar Marmoush and Rayan Ait-Nouri are at AFCON.
