It is not just the slump in recent weeks that Pep Guardiola has to manage in manchester city, but also the many and important injury problems that from time to time plague the British club.
The last “victim” of this season is Ruben Diaswho suffered a muscle problem in the Manchester derby against Uniteddespite the fact that he took out the whole game normally.
As the City coach informed in the context of the press conference ahead of the match against Aston Villa, the 27-year-old Portuguese stopper is expected to be out of action for over the next three to four weeks.
“Ruben is out for a long time, I don’t know if he will be ready for tomorrow. It will take three to four weeks. In the 75th minute against United, he felt something muscular, he’s so strong and wanted to stay on the pitch (in the United derby) and now he’s injured.” said the Catalan technician of the “citizens”.
