Man City received bad news before the 'big battle' with Barcelona
Man City have been dealt a blow ahead of their Champions League clash with Barcelona in midweek after defender Bacary Sagna was ruled out for three weeks.
'FIFA virus' continues to haunt big teams. After Real Madrid lost Sergio Ramos, Manchester City will be without Bacary Sagna for the next three weeks.

Specifically, Bacary Sagna suffered a torn hamstring in the match between France and Bulgaria in the 2018 World Cup qualifiers. According to the doctors' diagnosis, Sagna will have to rest for the next 3 weeks.
As such, the 33-year-old full-back will be absent from Man City's next six matches, including two important matches against Barcelona in the Champions League, the match against MU in the League Cup, and three Premier League matches against Everton, Southampton, and West Brom.
Since the beginning of the season, Sagna has also been struggling with injuries, causing him to only appear 4 times in the Premier League after 7 matches for Man City. However, every time he is present, Sagna always does his job well when on the field.
In the last 2 matches, when Pep Guardiola could not put Sagna on the field, Man City did not have the desired results when they were held to a draw by Celtic in the Champions League and lost to Tottenham in the Premier League.
