Man City are sweating on the fitness of Ruben Dias ahead of Sunday's derby after the Portuguese defender was brought off with a leg injury in their FA Cup win over Peterborough

Manchester City are sweating on the fitness of star defender Ruben Dias ahead of Sunday's derby.

Dias was substituted at half-time of Tuesday night's 2-0 FA Cup victory at Peterborough United with what Pep Guardiola described as a leg injury.

The 24-year-old is undergoing tests and City are awaiting those results before they can ascertain the severity of the problem.
