John Stones has not travelled to Sevilla with the rest of the Manchester City squad due to a muscle injury picked up in training on Monday, Pep Guardiola has confirmed.
Stones trained with City on Monday morning but was not part of the 21-man squad that later flew to Seville ahead of Tuesday's Champions League Group G opener. Kyle Walker, forced off with injury in the draw with Aston Villa, was not spotted training and did not travel with the squad either, as Guardiola confirmed the extent of the right-back's injury.
On the two injuries, Guardiola said that Walker and Stones may miss the next week or two of fixtures, and that new signing Manuel Akanji will be needed to deputise.
