Pep Guardiola’s team does not lift its head. Poor results and injuries are hindering him this season. Now, before Christmas, the technician faces another problem. Rúben Dias, Manchester City centre-back, will be out for three to four weeks due to a muscle problem.
The Portuguese defender was injured in the 75th minute of the defeat against Manchester United last Sunday, but decided to continue on the pitch despite these physical problems.
“He will be out for three or four weeks. It was a muscle problem, after 75 minutes he felt something. He is very strong and continued on the field, but now he is injured,” Pep Guardiola said at a press conference this Friday.
He has already missed six games due to injury
This is not the first injury that Rúben Dias has suffered this season, since he has already missed six games previously due to a calf problem.
His loss joins those of Rodrigo Hernández, Nathan Aké and Oscar Bobb. Manuel Akanji, who has not played since the beginning of December, could reappear this weekend after having been present in the last two training sessions of the ‘Sky Blues’.
