City could miss Stones for six weeks
John Stones injured his hamstring in the first half of Manchester City's comfortable 2-0 win over Leicester City in the Premier League, and it could prove costly.
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has revealed that John Stones could be out of action for up to six weeks.
The England defender pulled up holding his hamstring half an hour into the 2-0 Premier League win over Leicester City at King Power Stadium and was replaced by Eliaquim Mangala.
Speaking after the game, Guardiola confirmed that the 23-year-old could be out of action for the rest of the year and miss games against Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur.
"It is unfortunate for us and for John and I think he might be out for six weeks with that type of injury," Guardiola said.
"We don't have a lot of central defenders, but the spirit in the team, and with all the players, is good so we are going to find a solution."
