Manchester City’s injury problems have deepened after Pep Guardiola revealed Oleksandr Zinchenko and Rodri will both miss the crucial Premier League clash with Liverpool next month.
Guardiola is already without Leroy Sane and Aymeric Laporte as they nurse long-term knee injuries and he has now lost left-back Zinchenko and midfielder Rodri until after the next international break.
Zinchenko is set to miss six weeks after undergoing knee surgery in Barcelona while Rodri suffered a hamstring injury during the Champions League victory over Atalanta on Tuesday.
City meet Liverpool for the first time this season when they travel to Anfield on Nov. 10.
“Oleks had a contact with the knee and felt something in the bone,” Guardiola told a news conference on Friday ahead of Aston Villa's visit to the Etihad Stadium.
“He’s had to stop for five weeks. He's had some surgery to clean up the knee. It’s not a big issue but he’ll be out for five or six weeks. After the international break [Rodri] will be ready again.”
Villa are unbeaten in their last three league games, a run that has pushed Dean Smith's side up to 12th in the table.
Brazilian midfielder Douglas Luiz is likely to be in the visitors’ squad after his summer move from the Etihad. (ESPN)
