Pep Guardiola has revealed that Rúben Dias will be sidelined for three to four weeks due to a muscle injury sustained during Manchester City's recent match against Manchester United. "He felt something during the game and played through it for 75 minutes with pain," Guardiola stated. "Now, he's out," he added.
In more positive news, defenders Manuel Akanji and John Stones have returned to training. This comes at a crucial time as City prepares for their upcoming game this weekend.
The injury to Dias compounds the challenges facing Manchester City, who are currently experiencing their worst run of results under Guardiola's management with only one win in their last 11 games across all competitions. The team has slipped to fifth place in the Premier League and is gearing up for a vital match against Aston Villa.
Guardiola remains determined to maintain resilience despite these setbacks, emphasizing the need to stay focused and work through the current challenges. The upcoming game against Aston Villa is critical for City as they aim to reverse their recent slump and improve their position in the league.
