Key Man City center-back Dias sidelined for a month due to injury

Manchester City's struggles this season continue, as Pep Guardiola's team has now lost another key player.

Details: During a press conference ahead of the match against Aston Villa, Guardiola confirmed that the team’s primary center-back, Ruben Dias, will be out for approximately a month.

Quote:

"Ruben Dias is out for 3-4 weeks due to an injury. He felt something during the game against Manchester United and played 75 minutes in pain... now he's sidelined."

On a positive note, Manuel Akanji and John Stones have recovered from their injuries and are ready to play.

Reminder: Manchester City has won just one of their last 11 matches across all competitions.

Earlier today, reports emerged that Guardiola is urging the club to arrange a loan move for Lionel Messi from Inter Miami to address the team's struggles.
