City Suffer Another Blow as Dias Out for Six Weeks
Ruben Dias suffers a hamstring injury sidelining him for six weeks, adding to Manchester City's defensive absences amid potential January transfer moves, Guardiola said.
- On Tuesday, Pep Guardiola confirmed Ruben Dias will be sidelined for four to six weeks after a hamstring injury sustained during Sunday's 1-1 draw with Chelsea, ahead of Wednesday's Brighton match.
- Amid growing absences, Manchester City defender Josko Gvardiol faces surgery after a broken leg, joining John Stones at the Etihad Stadium, while Rayan Ait-Nouri is at the Africa Cup of Nations and Nathan Ake is not considered a regular option due to recent fitness issues.
- To plug gaps, Manchester City have recalled Max Alleyne from Watford, are close to signing Antoine Semenyo by triggering his 65 million release clause, and have Marc Guéhi as a transfer target this month.
- The injury toll represents a setback for Manchester City, as Guardiola said, `With the spirit that we have, always we can cope` despite sitting six points behind Arsenal.
- Looking at squad availability, John Stones, England international centre-back, has made just one league start since August amid injury concerns, with Guardiola warning six or seven injuries would require an unsustainable 35-player squad.
