Guardiola confirms key player will miss the vital clash against Liverpool

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola confirmed that John Stones will miss the vital clash against Liverpool next week due to a hip injury. 

The England international has suffered with his hip for an extended time, but was back in action for the Citizens' latest fixtures. However, the Tuesday match took its toll on Stones as he reinjured his hip and will be sidelined for some time. 

“Unfortunately, John felt [his hip] again.I feel so sorry for him, because he’s so incredibly professional and incredibly committed," said Guardiola via TNT Sports. 

According to the manager, the defender sustained a muscular injury, therefore, it will take a while to restore. This news presents a significant setback for the Premier League champions, given that Stones is a crucial and highly adaptable member of their team.

Manchester City are gearing up for some crucial upcoming matches, notably a home fixture against their Premier League title contenders, Liverpool, scheduled for November 25.

“It is a big loss for us. John is so important, for what he does,” concluded the Spanish manager.
