Manchester City coach, Pep Guardiola, shocked his club’s fans by announcing the injury of two of the team’s most important stars and their long absence.
Before the City and Bournemouth match on Saturday, Guardiola said that the central defender duo John Stones and Ruben Dias are suffering from injuries.
According to the Spanish philosopher’s confirmation, the duo will be absent for a “relatively long period” without specifying the period or date of their return.
Given Guardiola’s talk, it is certain that the English and Portuguese will not participate against Sporting Lisbon in the Champions League next Tuesday and Brighton in the Premier League next Saturday.
It is most likely that the duo’s absence will extend to include their absence from the international break with Portugal and England, and it remains unknown whether they will catch up with the Tottenham match after that on November 24 or not.
It remains to be noted that this season he faces a number of different injuries, the most prominent of which is undoubtedly Rodri’s injury with a torn cruciate ligament, and Kevin De Bruyne has not yet fully recovered from his recent injury.
