Man City suffer double injury blow, boost for Arsenal

06 January 2026 - 19:55

Manchester City have suffered a double injury blow following their 1-1 Premier League draw against Chelsea at the Etihad Stadium last weekend.

  • Man Utd can now sign 23yo target for £52m in January
  • Harry Maguire back in Man Utd squad vs Burnley?

  • The Cityzens were on course for a 1-0 victory over the Blues on Sunday, but they were denied right at the end with Enzo Fernandez's stoppage time goal.

    As a result, the club have dropped six points behind Arsenal in the league title race, and face a huge challenge on their hands to make up ground.

    On top of this, they have suffered a massive double injury blow with their starting centre-backs out injured.

    Josko Gvardiol has undergone surgery for a tibial fracture on his right leg and could be ruled out for the remainder of the ongoing league campaign.

    Pep Guardiola has now confirmed that Ruben Dias sustained a hamstring injury in the same game, and could be out of action for upto six weeks.

    The news is a huge setback for the Mancunian giants, who have now entered the transfer market for a new centre-back with the duo sidelined.
