The problem is serious. Pep Guardiola reveals how long Savinho will be sidelined

In the match against Sunderland, Manchester City winger Savinho picked up an injury, and Pep Guardiola has now explained how long he will be out.

Details: After the game against Brighton, the Spanish manager said the Brazilian will be sidelined for a long period, approximately one and a half to two months. As a result, he could return sometime in late February or early March.

Manchester City currently have 43 points after 21 rounds of the English championship. The team trail Arsenal by five points, but the Gunners still have a game in hand, meaning the gap could yet widen.

Meanwhile, 28-year-old Portuguese centre-back Rúben Dias is expected to be sidelined for around six weeks due to a hamstring injury.

Reminder: Pep Guardiola is currently facing an urgent search for a new defender, as not only Rúben Dias has picked up an injury, but another centre-back is also unavailable.
