Manchester City defender Josko Gvardiol will undergo surgery later this week after breaking his shinbone in Sunday's 1-1 draw with Chelsea in the Premier League, Xinhua reported. 

The 23-year-old Croatia international was forced off after 51 minutes at Stamford Bridge. Fellow center-back Ruben Dias also withdrew through injury around half an hour later.

The club said it was still working to "ascertain the full extent" of Gvardiol's injury and the expected timeframe for his recovery, according to Xinhua.
