“(He will undergo) surgery on Saturday, (and will be) 8-10 weeks out.”
There was better news on Jack Grealish, who came off against Real Madrid in midweek.
“It’s not as apparent right now as tough as Manu has done,” Guardiola added.
“But I don’t know if he’ll be ready tomorrow. We will see and assess in the next hours.”
