On paper, it seemed Manchester City had been dealt another cruel injury blow on Friday evening.
John Stones went down holding his hamstring during the Blues' 1-0 FA Cup success against Arsenal. Pep Guardiola later admitted that the England international did not look right from the very first whistle.
Still involved on three fronts, City still have plenty of football to come over the next month or so, with the resumption of the Champions League something Guardiola will have to be wary of in order to best manage the fitness of his players and supporters should worry regarding defensive cover.
