Manchester City will be without defender Ruben Dias for three to four weeks with a muscle injury.
Manager Pep Guardiola shared the news on Friday, revealing another blow for the reeling champions whose hopes of hanging on to the Premier League title are dwindling.
City travel to Aston Villa on Saturday hoping to right the ship amid the worst run of results in Guardiola's managerial career that has them languishing fifth in the league table. They also have just one victory to show for their last 11 games across all competitions.
Dias was injured in City's 2-1 derby loss to Manchester United on Sunday.
