Ruben Dias’ immediate impact at Man City

 In the 28th round of the Premier League, Man City will have a Manchester derby, welcoming great rival Man Utd at Etihad’s home ground. The defending champions had a practice session to prepare for this confrontation.

The Citizens are no longer “unique” in the championship race, when Liverpool are following closely behind. The Kop is currently only 6 points behind The Citizens, but has played less than 1 match. 

Pep Guardiola could not hide the tension on his face. Man City received bad news when Ruben Dias suffered multiple calf and hamstring injuries, forcing him to take a break for 4-6 weeks. This is a huge loss for the Etihad Stadium team.

Kevin de Bruyne continues to lead the team. The Belgian star has 7 goals and 2 assists in the Premier League this season. 

The 30-year-old midfielder has regained his inherent form. 

Dias was absent due to injury, so young talent Luke Mbete was promoted to train with the first team. It is likely that this 18-year-old defender will be on the registration list.

Oleksandr Zinchenko trains hard. Last time, the 25-year-old defender repeatedly condemned Russia for attacking Ukraine – his homeland.

Will Jack Grealish be trusted by Pep Guardiola for the main kick? 

Aymeric Laporte will replace Dias to lead the defense in the near future. 

Goalkeeper Ederson rolled out in the latest training session.
