Pep Guardiola said Manchester City will be without injured Belgium winger Jeremy Doku until the new year.
Doku suffered a leg problem last week and was absent from City's 3-0 win at Crystal Palace.
Speaking ahead of Wednesday's League Cup quarter-final against Brentford, City boss Guardiola said the influential Doku will not be back in action for up to three weeks.
Asked when he is likely to return, Guardiola said: "Jeremy (will be out) two or three weeks. New year at Sunderland maybe."
Doku's absence is a major blow to Guardiola in the midst of his most consistent season with City since arriving from French club Rennes in 2023.
The 23-year-old has scored three goals and provided five assists, with his dynamic play on the flanks helping City striker Erling Haaland enjoy another prolific campaign.
