Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany has been ruled out for the remainder of the year with a knee ligament injury, according to theDaily Mail.
The Belgian centre back was hurt after colliding with Citygoalkeeper Claudio Bravo during Saturday's win at Crystal Palace.
It's the latest in a series of injuries for the 30-year-old this year that have kept him out for a total of 39 weeks.
Manager Pep Guardiola said that he hadn't decided whether Kompany would be included in the squad for the next phase of the Champions League, assuming City qualify.
"Now is not the moment because first of all we have to qualify for the next round, and after that I'm going to decide on the squad," he said.
"We are looking for Vincent to finally play regularly in the team and we have to try to help him week after week to see if he is able to play more often. Deciding now is not the right thing.
"He's injured for the next weeks. The doctor didn't explain exactly how many. A serious ligament would be six months but that's not going to happen. It will be shorter. Three or four weeks, we will see.
"I didn't speak with him (Cugat). But he is in the best of hands and is travelling there. Cugat is part of our team, our staff, so he will be in control of him there. He is travelling to a hospital in Spain so he can recover as soon as possible."
Guardiola also denied that City's impressive win over Barcelona in their last Champions League outing has made them contenders to win the competition.
"With the history of the club, we cannot be considered favourites to win," he added. "Maybe in 10 years people are talking about Manchester City's as candidates.
"We are fighting since Abu Dhabi bought the club to make the step forward and arrive there. That is why tomorrow is so important to finish that group stage. If it doesn't happen we have the last home match against Celtic."
