Too little, too late: Antoine Semenyo signing and Marc Guehi pursuit won't save Man City's title hopes as Pep Guardiola counts cost of dismal run of draws

No timeline to return Stones (thigh) has no timeline to return, coach Pep Guardiola said in the press conference, according to Sam Lee from The Athletic. "No idea [when he will return]."

The versatile defender will likely spend some more weeks on the sidelines, but his absence will not impact the starting XI since he has mainly been a rotational player when fit this season.

Ruled out Saturday Stones (thigh) will not make the trip to Nottingham Forest on Saturday, according to manager Pep Guardiola.

Impact Stones will remain sidelined, missing his fourth consecutive league match due to a thigh injury. He was not expected to be ready for the Nottingham game and is aiming for a return in the new year against Sunderland. Given his ongoing fitness issues this season, Ruben Dias and Josko Gvardiol will likely continue as Manchester City's starting center-back pairing for the time being.

Impact Stones missed the last three games due to a thigh injury but could be set to return next week against Nottingham Forest or on the first day of the new year against Sunderland. The return of the defender will be a nice boost to the backline to give the starters some rest since he should resume a rotational role for the Citizens moving forward.

Impact Stones suffered a thigh injury last week, ruling him out of the last two games across all competitions, but it is likely only a minor issue, as assistant coach Kolo Toure expects him to be back soon. Stones' next chance to make the squad will come against West Ham United next Saturday. That said, Stones has mainly been a bench option this campaign, therefore his absence doesn't have an impact on the starting squad.

Timeline uncertain Stones (leg) has no clear date for a return, according to manager Pep Guardiola. "Leg. I don't know yet [how long he will be out]."

Impact Stones had been out with an injury last match and is set to miss further time as he recovers, with the injury deemed a leg problem. However, he has no timeline for a return, leaving the club without a defensive replacement for the time being. He is serving in more of a depth role for the club and serves in the rotating defense, leaving the club with one less option in the defense.

Plays 90 against Huddersfield Stones started and played the full 90 in Wednesday's 2-0 win over Huddersfield.

Impact Stones went unused last match but was an option in their midweek Carabao Cup match against Huddersfield, with the defender playing the full 90 after starting. This does clear him up for action moving forward, appearing to be fully fit after playing the whole match. That said, he did start in their first three games of the season and should return to their center-back rotation now that he is fit.

Impact Stones looks likely to miss a few weeks of action after he was out with an undisclosed injury for the Manchester Derby. This stems from the minor muscle injury that forced him to leave the England camp, now likely to be out for another week or two as he works on his fitness. That said, this will likely leave Ruben Dias and Abdukodir Khusanov to start in most games until Stones returns.

Impact Stones is dealing with a small issue and is a doubt for Sunday's derby against the Red Devils. The center-back will likely be assessed after the final training session to know if he can feature in the match squad for Sunday. That said, if he has to miss the game or start on the bench, Abdukodir Khusanov is expected to replace him in the backline on Sunday.

Impact Stones is dealing with minor muscle issues and has withdrawn from the England training camp as a precaution. The defender will likely be assessed in the coming days to determine the extent of the issue, and if nothing more serious is found, he should be able to make the match squad for next Sunday's derby against Manchester United. That said, if he has to miss some time, Nathan Ake or Abdukodir Khusanov could see increased playing time in the backline.

Starting in pre-season Stones started and played the first 45 minutes of Saturday's friendly against Palermo.

Impact Stones got the start with a strong first XI, playing the first half before wholesale changes. the defender ended the season with a thigh issue, missing the final three months of the campaign. Injuries have hampered Stones heavily in recent years, but whenever he can get fit he earns consistent minutes in the defense and holding midfield. If Stones opens the season fully fit he should compete for minutes in either role, especially with City competing in four competitions.
