Pep Guardiola will not have one of his most important players available for longer than originally expected. A month ago, it was announced after City's FA cup match against Peterborough that Ruben Dias had suffered a muscle injury.
Originally, it was revealed that he would be out for four to six weeks. The first scans returned encouraging results and suggested that he would return quicker than expected. However, this has not been the case.
"He will still be out for between 10 days and two weeks", confirmed the City boss in his press conference this Friday ahead of the match against Burnley this weekend.
Therefore, he will not feature next Tuesday in the first leg of the Champions League quarter finals against Atletico Madrid. In fact, the situation could worsen still as he is also a doubt for the crucial match against Liverpool.
