“He’s out against Chelsea” – Pep Guardiola confirms heavy injury blow ahead of Chelsea clash
Manchester City have been dealt a significant setback ahead of their Premier League clash with Chelsea, as manager Pep Guardiola confirmed Ruben Dias has sustained a potentially serious injury.
City face Chelsea at the Etihad on Saturday, with the pressure mounting after their recent 4-2 Champions League defeat to PSG, where they surrendered a two-goal lead.
The loss leaves City on the brink of an early exit from Europe, and a defeat against Chelsea could further damage their hopes of finishing in the Premier League’s top four.
The absence of Dias, a key figure in City’s defence, will be a major concern for Guardiola as his team navigates a challenging schedule that includes fixtures against Chelsea, Arsenal, and Liverpool in quick succession.
This injury adds to City’s growing woes as they look to regain momentum in both domestic and European competitions.
