Stones, Bernardo, De Bruyne - Man City injury news and return dates vs Sheffield United
25.08.2023 - 17:21 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Manchester City will be without two important players - and their manager - for the Premier League fixture with recently-promoted Sheffield United at Bramall Lane on Sunday afternoon (2pm).
As reported, Belgium playmaker and City captain Kevin De Bruyne has been ruled out for four months after being forced to undergo surgery to repair a hamstring problem. John Stones (muscular) is the other confirmed absentee, at least from a playing perspective, with Bernardo Silva back from illness.
Pep Guardiola will not be in the City dugout, though, as the Catalan manager recovers after going under the knife himself. He will miss at least the two games pencilled in for before the international break.
Assistant manager Juanma Lillo will guide the star-studded team in his absence and, also, took on media duties at the pre-match press conference on Friday afternoon. After he shared an update on the injured City players, here is our round-up from the treatment table with return dates;

What Guardiola has said: "It's a serious injury. He will be out for a few months. The injury is a blow, a big loss. He has specific qualities. For a long time is really tough for us. We have to look forward. We have alternatives. Kevin is irreplaceable, but we have talented players. They will take it."
