Injury update ahead of Chelsea clash

Pep Guardiola says Ruben Dias and Jeremy Doku will miss Saturday's home clash with Chelsea.

Dias was forced to come off at half-time during the midweek defeat to Paris Saint-Germain with the boss revealing that he "didn't feel good".

It is a blow for the Portuguese, who has only made two appearances since the Manchester derby in mid-December.

Doku, who impressed in the 6-0 win over Ipswich Town last weekend, missed our trip to Paris and will be absent again for the visit of Chelsea.

When asked who was out of contention for the Chelsea match Pep said: "[We have the] same injuries, we had [before].

"Ruben and Doku are out. The other players out are [still] out."

Guardiola was also asked whether new arrivals Vitor Reis, Abdukodir Khusanov and Omar Marmoush could be included in the matchday squad tomorrow.

"Yes," he replied. "They can play, but I don’t know yet. We don't have players.

And on Marmoush, he added: "[He brings] exceptional quality to the team,  He's a future player for years with quality in the final third. That's why [we signed him]."
