Pep Guardiola is set to miss Manchester City's next two games as he travels to Barcelona for emergency surgery due to severe back pain.
Although his condition is not believed to be extremely serious, he is anticipated to be unavailable until after the international break.
During this period, assistant manager Juanma Lillo will step in to manage the team. The reigning Premier League champions are scheduled to face Sheffield United in an away game and Fulham in a home game in their upcoming league matches.
While the team is well-prepared to manage without the Spaniard, his absence is undoubtedly a setback as he is recognized as one of the world's top coaches.
