Misses call Saturday
Dias (hamstring) is ruled out for Saturday's FA Cup clash against Liverpool.
Analysis: Dias has not been able to make it back in time from the hamstring injury that ruled him out of the Carabao Cup final and also kept him from featuring for Portugal over the international break. City are now dealing with a major problem at the back, with Josko Gvardiol (fracture) already sidelined and John Stones (calf) still not available either. Abdukodir Khusanov is starting alongside Marc Guehi and will likely do so until Dias is back up to full speed.
In doubt for FA Cup match
Dias (hamstring) is in doubt to face Liverpool on Saturday, according to Tashan Deniran-Alleyne of The Standard.
Analysis: Dias missed the club's Carabao Cup final before the break and didn't participate with Portugal due to a hamstring injury, leaving the defender in doubt for Saturday. This is something major to watch for the club as they could be without an everyday starter again for a Cup match, a bit of a worry with John Stones (calf) also doubtful and Josko Gvardiol (fracture) out. Either way, it can be put into question if he will be risked even if he makes the team, as Marc Guehi will likely start with Abdukodir Khusanov or Nathan Ake next to him.
