Manchester City made it two defeats on the bounce with a disappointing loss at Brighton on Sunday.
City were coasting on the south coast and they went ahead through Erling Haaland, but the wheels came off in the second half as Brighton completed a comeback.
First James Milner equalised from the penalty spot after Matheus Nunes' conceded a spot kick for a handball. Both teams pushed for a winner but the home side always looked the likelier, and they grabbed a late goal through Brajan Gruda to seal all three points.
Here is a look at the current injury situation at the Etihad Stadium:
Rayan Cherki
Injury: Thigh
Cherki missed the trip to Brighton having picked up a thigh injury. The Frenchman could miss two months of action.
Estimated return date: Bournemouth (h) - Saturday, November 1
Phil Foden
Injury: Foden also missed the clash with Brighton. Foden was said to be 'not fully fit' and so City will hope he returns after the international break.
Estimated return date:Manchester United (h) - Sunday, September 14
Savinho
Injury: Unknown
The Brazilian winger is yet to feature for City this term through injury and Guardiola confirmed in Friday's press conference he will be back in contention after the international break.
Estimated return date:Manchester United (h) - Sunday, September 14
Mateo Kovacic
Injury: Achilles
Kovacic missed the FA Cup final defeat to Crystal Palace in May and hasn't played for City since. An Achilles injury is feared to keep him sidelined for another two months.
"He had an injury and missed the cup final," Guardiola said earlier this year. "He thought rest would help, but it didn't. Pain and swelling appeared concerning the heel tendon."
Estimated return date: Unknown
Josko Gvardiol
Injury: Unknown
The Croatian defender is yet to feature this season but will hopefully return after the international break.
Estimated return date: Manchester United (h) - Sunday, September 14
