This key Man City player will miss the Arsenal game with an injury: Will it be a big issue for Guardiola?

Next weekend, Manchester City will welcome Arsenal in the Premier League and defender Nathan Ake will miss this key encounter due to a hamstring injury.

City continue to sit at the top of the table after their 2-1 win against Brentford but that position could be in jeopardy because Arsenal are the main title contenders.

Nathan Ake picked up a hamstring knock while playing for the Netherlands during the international break and his club manager has said that the 29-year-old will not be back before October.

“He’s injured. I think it will be until the next international break,” Guardiola has said. “We are unlucky with Nathan and the international team; every time he goes there, he comes back injured.”
