Nathan Ake has been ruled out of Manchester City's clash with Sheffield United in the FA Cup.
Ake has been a pivotal part of the City team this season and has nailed down the left-back role, allowing the team to allow Joao Cancelo to leave on loan to Bayern Munich. But he suffered a hamstring injury in the quarter-final away in Germany, having to leave the pitch with Aymeric Laporte coming on to replace him.
The defender felt initially that it was similar to a previous injury but not as bad as that, although scans have shown that the problem is serious enough to rule him out at the weekend. Pep Guardiola isn't certain how long Ake will be out but knows that Saturday will come too soon.
