Manchester City have been handed a triple injury blow ahead of this weekend’s clash with Arsenal.
According to the Mirror, both John Stones and Sergio Aguero will miss the match through respective injuries.
Aguero has been sidelined with a thigh injury and this will be the sixth straight City game he has missed.
Pep Guardiola confirmed neither player will be involved, while David Silva is also a doubt for the game.

Such is the strength of Manchester City’s squad, this might not be such bad news for them after all.
Gabriel Jesus has stepped in for Aguero following his injury, with the Brazilian forward relishing his chance in the team. With five goals in his last three games across all competitions, Jesus is in great form ahead of the game on Sunday.
Silva potentially missing the match at the Emirates could open up an opportunity for young Phil Foden to come into the side.
After their win against West Ham last time out in the Premier League, Arsenal will come into the game feeling positive and maybe this added injury news will put an extra spring in their step as they look to upset the odds against the champions.
