Manchester City have a major headache with THREE central defenders now out for the rest of the season after the Blues lost Ruben Dias in the 5-0 rout of Newcastle. The Portugal international limped off with a hamstring problem at half-time and will not play again this season - along with John Stones and Kyle Walker.
And with Nathan Ake struggling with an ankle problem, and almost certainly out of Wednesday's clash with Wolves, Pep Guardiola said he is down to "three defenders for three games". Stones and Walker were not in the squad and Ake was on the bench, but Guardiola replaced Dias with Fernandinho at half-time.
The Brazil international had an excellent second half and may have to start at Molineux, after Guardiola confirmed: "Ruben, Kyle and John are out for the season" and said they would also miss next month's internationals.
