Manchester City has confirmed that defender Ruben Dias will be sidelined for three to four weeks following a muscular injury sustained during last week’s Manchester derby against Manchester United. The announcement comes as a significant blow to the team as they navigate a crucial phase of the Premier League season.
Manager Pep Guardiola disclosed the news during a press conference, stating, “After 75 minutes against United, he felt something. He’s strong and wanted to stay on the pitch, but now he’s injured.” The Portuguese international played a pivotal role in City’s defense, and his absence will be felt as the team prepares for upcoming fixtures.
Dias has been an integral part of Manchester City’s defensive lineup since joining the club, contributing not only with his defensive skills but also with leadership on the pitch. His injury raises concerns about depth in the squad, particularly as City aims to maintain its title challenge in both domestic and European competitions.
The club’s medical staff will closely monitor Dias’s recovery process, and updates will be provided as he progresses. Fans and teammates alike are hopeful for a swift recovery, allowing him to return to action as soon as possible.
