Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has revealed that Ruben Dias and Jeremy Doku will miss tomorrow’s Premier League game against Chelsea.
Dias was substituted at half-time in midweek. The centre-back was withdrawn during the Champions League defeat at Paris Saint-Germain and has an adductor injury. No timeframe has been placed on his return.

Dias’s absence is a big blow for Manchester City ahead of a crucial top-four clash with Chelsea at the Etihad. In his absence, City conceded four second-half goals during their defeat in Paris.
Doku was not included in the squad to face PSG and will again miss out. Guardiola also confirmed that none of Nathan Ake, Oscar Bobb or Rodri are yet ready to return.
However, the City squad will be boosted by the inclusion of January signings Omar Marmoush, Vitor Reis and Abdukodir Khusanov for the first time.
