Dias, Ederson, Nunes - Man City injury news and return dates ahead of West Ham United clash
Manchester City welcome West Ham United to the Etihad Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to build on last weekend's victory over Leicester City.
After a run of just one win in 13 games, City rediscovered the winning formula with a 2-0 win at the King Power Stadium thanks to goals from Savinho and Erling Haaland.
But Pep Guardiola's side continue to struggle with injuries and the City boss confirmed in Friday's press conference that he does not expect any new returnees for the visit of Julen Lopetegui's side.

With that in mind, here is a fresh look at the latest City injury situation ahead of the clash with the Hammers.
Ruben Dias
Injury: Muscular
What we know: Guardiola confirmed last month that Dias had picked up the problem in the derby defeat to Manchester United but had played through the pain. He is set to be sidelined for around three weeks.
"Ruben will be out for three or four weeks. It's muscular," Guardiola said.
"[He played] 75 minutes against United, and he felt something, but he is so strong and wanted to stay on the pitch."
Guardiola said on Friday that he is 'getting better' but he is not expected to be involved against the Hammers.
Potential return date: Salford City (H) - January 11
John Stones
Injury: Foot
What we know: Stones was back in the team at Villa Park last month but was forced off at the break with a recurrence of the injury that has already seen him sidelined plenty this term. He is still not ready to return.
Potential return date: Salford City (H) - January 11
Matheus Nunes
Injury: Unknown
What we know: Nunes has missed the last three games with an unknown issue. Guardiola was non-committal over whether he will return against West Ham but it seems unlikely.
Potential return date: Salford City (H) - January 11
Ederson
Injury: Knock
What we know: Ederson has missed the last three matches through injury but Guardiola said on Friday that the Brazil international had 'trained better' this week with his first training session without disturbance in his leg for some time.
He isn't expected to feature against West Ham, though.
Potential return date: Salford City (H) - January 11
Rodri
Injury: Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL)
What we know: Rodri has sustained a serious knee injury and will be out until the middle of next year. He has spoken of his desire to play again this season, possibly in the Club World Cup.
Potential return date: June 2025
Oscar Bobb
Injury: Fractured Leg
What we know: The Norwegian suffered his leg break in August and the hope is that Bobb will play some part early in the new year.
Potential return date: January/February
