\n\u201cMuscular, hamstring. Four to six weeks. It happens,\u201d said Pep Guardiola reported by Goal. <\/em>He further stated that he has seen many times that the club had its important players injured and he has overcome such circumstances. He would have wanted Dias to play but there are more players available to fight for the season.<\/p>\n
