Erling Haaland, Kevin De Bruyne and Jeremy Doku will all miss the duration of the Club World Cup.
Manchester City kicked off their CWC campaign against Urawa Red Diamonds in Jeddah on Tuesday, but it has now been claimed by the MailOnline the trio are likely to miss any games played in the Middle East this month.
The prolific striker sat out his third straight match at the weekend as Man City blew a 2-0 lead to Crystal Palace, with the 23-year-old recovering from a foot injury.
Haaland was initially included in the 23-man squad for the semi-final on Tuesday, but was removed hours before kick off, along with Jeremy Doku and Kevin De Bruyne. The trio will missed the semi-final and potentially the final against Brazilian side Fluminese.
De Bruyne was spotted completing a full training session with the City squad on Monday but is yet to make a full recovery from a long-term hamstring injury, which has seen him sit out the majority of the season as City slump in the league.
