Manchester City defender John Stones is facing potential surgery for a thigh injury sustained early in a Champions League match. Manager Pep Guardiola confirmed the serious nature of the injury and awaited further assessment. This comes soon after fellow defender Manuel Akanji was also sidelined for surgery related to a thigh issue. Meanwhile, striker Erling Haaland’s availability for an upcoming Premier League match remains uncertain due to a knee injury. Stones' injury marks a setback as he has only recently returned from a prolonged absence.
"He is injured. It's a difficult one. In the next days, we will know if he needs surgery or not," Guardiola said, emphasizing the uncertainty surrounding Stones' condition.
"Don't know yet. Tomorrow we will know. Obviously with Erling we are better," Guardiola remarked when asked about Haaland's availability for the match against Liverpool.
