Man City injury list and return dates for Sporting: Ruben Dias, Jack Grealish, John Stones latest

Sports Mole rounds up all of Manchester City's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Tuesday's Champions League clash with Sporting Lisbon.

Reeling from an increasingly rare Premier League defeat, Manchester City board a flight to Portugal to pit their wits against Sporting Lisbon in Tuesday's Champions League clash.

Pep Guardiola's side lost their grip on first place in the Premier League table on Saturday afternoon, suffering their first defeat in the top flight in 32 games with a 2-1 reverse at Bournemouth.

However, the Citizens are yet to come out on the wrong end of the scoreline in Europe this term, taking seven points from their first three games to lie third in the Champions League table behind Aston Villa and Liverpool.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Man City latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest with Sporting, who are eighth in the 36-team table but will soon be waving goodbye to Manchester United-bound manager Ruben Amorim.


Rodri

Status: Out
Type of injury: Knee
Possible return date: Unknown

Rodri sported his crutches as he collected his 2024 Ballon d'Or award in Paris last week, as the Spaniard recovers from the ACL injury that has ruled him out for the rest of the campaign.


Oscar Bobb

Status: Out
Type of injury: Leg fracture
Possible return date: January 4 (vs. West Ham United)

Likewise, Oscar Bobb is on the long road to recovery from the leg fracture he sustained in pre-season, and Guardiola has confirmed that the young winger is eyeing a comeback in either January or February.


Jack Grealish

Status: Out
Type of injury: Unspecified
Possible return date: Unknown

Jack Grealish has spent the past couple of weeks in the treatment room with an unspecified concern, and Guardiola has suggested that the English attacker will not return this side of the international break.


Ruben Dias

Status: Out
Type of injury: Unspecified
Possible return date: Unknown

Ruben Dias was a casualty of the recent EFL Cup loss at Tottenham Hotspur, and Guardiola has now revealed that the Portuguese will be out for "a little bit of a long time" with that unspecified concern.


John Stones

Status: Out
Type of injury: Unspecified
Possible return date: Unknown

Guardiola was equally cryptic when discussing John Stones's absence at full time on Saturday; the 30-year-old played the full 90 against Tottenham before missing out on selection against Bournemouth, and he will not be available here either.
