Man City's Injury Crisis Deepens: Gvardiol, Dias Out; Guardiola Faces Defensive Woes

• Manchester City faces a severe injury crisis with defenders Josko Gvardiol and Ruben Dias ruled out for upcoming matches.
• Dias is sidelined for 4-6 weeks with a hamstring injury, while Gvardiol's season is potentially over due to a tibial fracture.
• Both players sustained injuries during Sunday's 1-1 draw against Chelsea at the Etihad Stadium.
• Manager Pep Guardiola confirmed John Stones remains unfit, adding to the defensive woes, alongside other absences like Rayan Ait-Nouri (AFCON) and several attackers.
• Despite the crisis, Guardiola downplayed a repeat of last year's £180M January spending spree, though City is linked with Antoine Semenyo and Marc Guehi.
