Pep Guardiola confirmed that Ruben Dias will be absent for at least three weeks due to a muscular injury sustained during the Manchester derby. Despite returning from a calf injury, Dias played in the match where he felt discomfort. Guardiola expressed concern about the extent of the injury, noting its impact on the team's defensive lineup. The center-back's absence adds pressure on City as they try to improve their form after a disappointing run.
Guardiola also indicated uncertainty regarding goalkeeper Ederson's readiness for the upcoming game against Aston Villa, mentioning that he might not be fit to play but not specifying the issue. In light of the team's struggles and current injuries, the return of defenders John Stones and Manuel Akanji to training is seen as a positive development for City as they aim to stabilize their performances.
