Pep Guardiola has confirmed that he'll be without the duo as City bid to go top of the Premier League table on Wednesday.‌Sunday's 2-1 victory over Arsenal means that the title race is now in their hands, but it didn't come without a cost. Rodri was substituted in the 88th minute after picking up a groin injury. Although scans have shown that the problem isn't serious, midfielder won't be back in time for their game at Burnley and could be absent for Saturday's FA Cup semi-final against Southampton.‌In his pre-match press conference, Guardiola revealed: "I think he will not be ready for tomorrow and we will see for the next games. Maybe [he will be back for] the semi-final with Southampton or in 12 or 13 days against Everton."‌Guardiola added that Dias is 'not ready yet', with the centre-back having suffered a hamstring injury during City's game against Real Madrid in the Champions League last month. Dias remains sidelined alongside fellow defender Josko Gvardiol, who's recovering from a broken leg.WORLD CUP LEGENDS: The stars who lit up football's greatest tournament - Buy the Special Edition todayREAD MORE: Pep Guardiola has Man City exit route with international job - 'Dreaming costs nothing'READ MORE: Nico O'Reilly issues Arsenal challenge to Man City team-mates as Hong Kong reunion announcedRodri has started each of City's last 11 Premier League games and been instrumenta...
