Arsenal handed major boost with Man City star ruled out of Premier League clash | Football
Manchester City will be without Ruben Dias in their Premier League showdown against Arsenal this weekend.
City host the Premier League leaders at the Etihad on Sunday with just six points separating the two.
Dias, 28, has missed City’s last four games, including the Carabao Cup final victory over the Gunners in March.
The Portugal international was ruled out of the FA Cup victory over Liverpool and last weekend’s league win at Chelsea with Marc Guehi and Abdukodir Khusanov forging an impressive partnership at the back in those two outings.
While there had been hope Dias would be recover in time to be available for the visit of the Gunners, the Manchester Evening News report an ankle injury will keep him sidelined.

City also remain without long-term absentee Josko Gvardiol with doubts over the fitness of John Stones, who has been limited to just 15 appearances this season.
Nico O’Reilly has been in stunning form as of late, scoring twice in the Carabao Cup final before coming up with another valuable goal against Chelsea last time out.
