Ruben Dias took half in coaching forward of Wednesday’s second leg of their Champions League quarter-final in opposition to Atletico Madrid.
The 24-year-old has been out with a hamstring damage since March 1, lacking the final seven matches throughout all competitions.
Pep Guardiola confirmed to the press on April 1, earlier than final week’s first leg, that Dias can be evaluated for the next ten days to 2 weeks earlier than being thought of for first-team choice.
That is an encouraging replace forward of their pivotal European fixture in midweek, with the Cityzens sharing two images on Twitter of the Portugal worldwide coaching on the Etihad Campus.

Dias‘s health to begin on Wednesday is unknown, though he would possibly fly to Madrid with the remainder of the first-team group.
John Stones and Aymeric Laporte are the almost definitely center-back starters in opposition to Diego Simeone’s aspect, though Nathan Ake – who began at left-back within the first leg – can be a chance.
