Shock for Guardiola: Ruben slides fails for weeks!

Villa Park, England - Manchester City has to cope with a severe wave of injuries! As Pep Guardiola announced at the press conference before the league game against Aston Villa, central defender Ruben slides will fail for three to four weeks. The Portuguese defender suffered a muscle injury in the derby against Manchester United and had to get off the field early on, which the cityzens were bitterly lost. The squad has been affected, but with Manuel Akanji and John Stones, both of whom have returned to training, there is hope for the next game. However, Guardiola was careful and emphasized that it could be too early to return the two players.

In addition to the defense worries, Guardiola is faced with a new challenge in the goal. Ederson, the team's number one, could also be canceled. Guardiola said in his press conference: "Ederson, I don't know if he's ready for tomorrow." This will not be easier for the situation for the defending champions who are in fifth place in the Premier League after the defeat against Manchester United, since they may now have to fall back on a rotation in the goal. The pressure increases because City is nine points behind leaders Liverpool, who also has one less game. This situation will prepare for the upcoming game against Aston Villa with a big challenge, as well as yahoo sports reported.

The coming weeks could be crucial for City's season, especially since you want to rehabilitate yourself after the catastrophic defeat against Manchester United. In addition to the failures, the question of the game list against Aston Villa also arises, which Guardiola must definitely react in the following days.
