Portuguese Robin Diash, Manchester City’s English football centre-back, will be absent for up to four weeks due to a muscle problem, which increases the troubles for Spanish coach Pep Guardiola’s team, which is seeking to save its season.
The international defender did not participate in all five matches for his team last November, due to a problem in his calf, but he returned at the beginning of this month and participated mainly.
Dias will not be available in Guardiola’s squad against Aston Villa today, in the 17th round, and there are doubts about the participation of Brazilian goalkeeper Ederson.
Guardiola said in a press conference on the eve of the match: “Robben will be absent for a long time, and I do not know whether Ederson will be ready today or not,” adding that Dias will be away from the field for “three or four weeks.”
