Man City confirm Ruben Dias injury setback and Kalvin Phillips fitness concern

Ruben Dias is facing a spell on the sidelines for Manchester City after returning from the World Cup with a hamstring injury.

Dias played every game for Portugal in the World Cup before their quarter-final exit to Morocco, but was absent as City resumed action against Liverpool on Thursday while his compatriots Bernardo Silva and Joao Cancelo both made the bench.
