Manchester City will be without Rúben Dias for up to six weeks with a hamstring injury.
The setback deepens a defensive crisis for manager Pep Guardiola.
Josko Gvardiol is also sidelined after suffering a broken shinbone.
City may enter the transfer market, with interest in Marc Guéhi.
The club is close to completing a move for forward Antoine Semenyo.
Semenyo is due for a medical after City agreed to trigger his £65m release clause.
With multiple injuries and Afcon absences, City have only 13 senior outfield players available.
Guardiola said the squad would cope but ruled out a major spending spree.
Manchester City Lose Rúben Dias but Advance Semenyo Deal
