Pep Guardiola reveals how long Man City Nathan Ake will be out for after defender underwent foot surgery

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has given fans a timeline for the return of defender Nathan Ake following foot surgery.

The centre-back was forced off at half-time in last weekend's FA Cup victory over Plymouth and later underwent an operation to repair a fracture.

It is the latest in a series of fitness issues in a frustrating campaign for the Dutchman, with the foot issue having been particularly troublesome for some time.

Guardiola said at a press conference: '10 weeks, 11 weeks (out), they said to me. When you go for surgery it's because something wrong happened.
