Defends well in win Dias made four blocks and won two of two tackles in Wednesday's 3-1 victory against Arsenal.

Impact Dias has come back and started in consecutive Premier League games for City after previously making just one appearance off the bench in seven games since the World Cup break. Wednesday's win over Arsenal temporarily sends his side back to the top of the table.

Bench option against Spurs Dias (upper leg) will be available as a substitute versus Tottenham on Thursday.

Impact Dias has yet to get onto the pitch for the Citizens since the World Cup, missing the previous four contests due to his leg problem. Even once cleared to play, the defender is far from a lock for the starting XI and could find himself watching from the sidelines periodically.

Back in training Dias (leg) was seen in training Tuesday ahead of Thursday's match against Tottenham, reports Football Daily.

Impact This is the first real update on a return for Dias, who has been out almost a month with a leg injury. His return to the squad would be a nice boost, though it's hard to see him starting immediately after an extended absence. Nathan Ake and Manuel Akanji started together at center-back in the Manchester derby.

Out up to a month Dias is out for "up to a month" after sustaining an upper leg injury during a World Cup matchup against Switzerland, per coach Pep Guardiola. Notably, he still went on to play 90 m...

Impact Dias missed Thursday's cup matchup against Liverpool, and now we know why. It's a tough blow for City, who face Chelsea, Spurs and Manchester United all in the month of January. During his absence, it's likely Manuel Akanji and Nathan Ake receive some extended run along the back.

Starting against Morocco Dias is fit and in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Morocco.

Impact Dias is good to go after dealing with a knock in the buildup to the match. The center back starts alongside Pepe in the middle of Portugal's back four.

DECEMBER 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to training Dias participated in Friday's training session after missing out Thursday, according to Mais Futebol.

Impact Dias was a worry by missing a session late in the week and will still be in question for Saturday. Were he to be kept out of the lineup, Antonio Silva could start alongside Pepe against a tricky Morocco group.

DECEMBER 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Two starts in group stage Dias started each of Portugal's first two matches at the World Cup.

Impact Dias kept a clean sheet against Uruguay in Matchday 2 before sitting out as Portugal rotated their lineup against South Korea. He should return to the XI in central defense for the knockout rounds.

Sits out Brentford loss Dias was left on the bench during Saturday's 2-1 loss to Brentford.

Impact Dias only started once in the final four league matches of the season and got a chance to rest ahead of the World Cup. With seven clean sheets in 17 appearances (13 starts) between the league and UCL, Dias remains one of the more solid defenders around. Heading into the tournament in Qatar, Dias and three other of his center-back teammates will be joining their respective national teams with John Stones in England, Manuel Akanji in Switzerland and Aymeric Laporte with the Spanish team.

NOVEMBER 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Takes four shots in UCL win Dias took four shots (two on target) and won one of two tackles in Wednesday's 3-1 Champions League victory against Sevilla.

Impact Dias wasn't particularly busy from a defensive standpoint on Wednesday, but he did get involved in the attack often against Sevilla. He has started in 13 of City's 18 matches across the Premier League and UCL this season, keeping seven clean sheets across the two competitions.

Keeps clean sheet in win Dias kept a clean sheet while making one interception during Wednesday's 5-0 win over Copenhagen.

Impact Dias has started in just two of the last four matches but kept clean sheets and completed over 200 passes combined. The need to rotate the back line and keep everyone healthy is sure to see more of Dias on the bench but when in the lineup he's already kept five clean sheets in eight starts between the league and UCL.

OCTOBER 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Helps maintain clean sheet Dias logged two interceptions and two clearances during a 4-0 win against AFC Bournemouth on Saturday.

Impact Dias was Manchester City's only player to log multiple interceptions and clearances. Both helped the team have two clean sheets across that many games it has played during August.

AUGUST 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Keeps clean sheet in win Dias kept a clean sheet with five clearances made during Sunday's 2-0 win over West Ham.

Impact Dias helped to shut down a home side with plenty of good attacking options by dominating possession with the fourth-most completed passes on his team. The past two seasons have seen Dias keep 27 total clean sheets in the EPL and reaching double-digit shutouts should be the expectation this year.

AUGUST 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Out rest of season Dias will miss the rest of the season after suffering a new hamstring injury in Sunday's win against Newcastle, according to manager Pep Guaridola.

Impact It's a tough injury for Dias, who has only been back for a few weeks from his prior hamstring injury, which Guardiola noted was a different location. It's likely Nathan Ake will move to center-back, though Fernandinho came on for Dias on Sunday. Dias closes the season with a couple hamstring injuries, finishing with two goals, four assists and 12 clean sheets from 29 league appearances (27 starts), as well as eight more appearances in Champions League.

Comes off injured against Newcastle Dias was subbed out at halftime of Sunday's victory against Newcastle United after suffering a muscular injury. He took a shot on target and made two clearances in the match before...

Impact Dias' day was cut short due to injury on Sunday, and he will be questionable for Wednesday's clash against Wolves. Fernandinho replaced him in central defense against Newcastle, but Nathan Ake and John Stones (strain) if fit are also options.

MAY 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Leader in blocks, clearances Dias blocked a shot, made an interception, two tackles (winning one) and five clearances during Wednesday's 3-1 loss to Real Madrid.

Impact Dias was a part of the City back line that conceded three goals on Wednesday. The centerback finished with team-high totals in blocks and clearances in the loss.

MAY 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Fourth assist of season Dias had an assist with his lone chance created while blocking a shot, making two interceptions and five clearances during Saturday's 4-0 win over Leeds.

Impact Dias set up Nathan Ake in the 54th minute assisting one of City's four goals on the day. The assist was the fourth of the season for the defender as he finished with team-high totals in blocks, interceptions and clearances in the win.

APRIL 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Allows three in win over Real Dias had one chance created, two interceptions and two clearances in Tuesday's 4-3 win over Real Madrid.

Impact Dias was quiet statistically here and the three goals allowed will likely bring negative production for his fantasy owners in most formats. He'll have a good chance to redeem himself over the weekend in a date with lowly Leeds but will surely have more trouble next week in the second leg against Karim Benzema and the rest of Los Blancos.

APRIL 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Plays second half in win Dias subbed into Wednesday's match against Brighton at halftime, and he made a clearance in the 3-0 victory.

Impact Dias made his first appearance since February on Wednesday after recovering from a hamstring injury. Nathan Ake (ankle) and John Stones (strain) both went down with knocks in this game, so Dias will hope that those injuries aren't serious as he doesn't seem quite at 100% himself just yet.
