Manchester City have three main injury concerns to address upon their return from the international break.

Ruben Dias trained with Manchester City ahead of their Super Cup match with Sevilla to boost his chances of featuring against Newcastle.
The Blues suffered a setback ahead of their Premier League opener when Dias was concussed in training. That put the centre-back out for seven days under the concussion rules, meaning he missed the trip to Burnley and will not feature against Sevilla on Wednesday.
Despite being unavailable to play, Dias travelled to Athens with the group and trained with them on Tuesday as they went through their final preparations to face the Spanish side. Having come through the session unscathed, Guardiola should be able to count on another centre-back for the Premier League game at Newcastle on Saturday.
If there is good news in defence, there are problems cropping up in other areas. Kevin De Bruyne could face months out of action with surgery looking like a preferred option after he suffered a repeat of the hamstring problem that saw his Champions League final end painfully early.

Meanwhile, City are facing a battle to keep Stefan Ortega amid interest from Bayern Munich. Guardiola made clear that the Blues will need to go back into the transfer window if they are to lose him.
With yet another outfield player now ruled out given De Bruyne's injury and the interest in Lucas Paqueta, it could be a busy end to the transfer window for City.
