(Reuters) - Manchester City's defensive injury problems deepened ahead of their opening Champions League clash away to Shakhtar Donetsk with centre back John Stones being ruled out with a muscle injury.

"He made a pass and was injured," Guardiola told reporters, confirming the injury occurred during Tuesday's training session."No problems, he can deal with it and he will do well because my players are well.Fresh from a shock 3-2 Premier League defeat by promoted Norwich City and with French centre back Aymeric Laporte out injured until January or February, the news that Stones could now miss five weeks gives Guardiola a headache.

"Football is not how you handle good situations, but how you handle bad ones," he said."We won seven titles and no one gave us anything, we did it ourselves.Shakhtar are dangerous opponents, especially on their own turf, and City are down to their last available established central defender in Nicolas Otamendi.

"Big challenge. So for me as a manager it's an incredible challenge, just one central defender in Nico," Guardiola said. "But I believe a lot, people don't know the spirit and resolve to solve this problem. It's happened, but what we are not going to do is complain.""He has a virus problem with the stomach. He will miss this game and maybe the next," Guardiola said.

Seberang Prai achieves city statusKEPALA BATAS: Seberang Prai has been officially declared a city on Monday (Sept 16) in conjunction with Malaysia Day. All the kampung towns in Malaysia can be bestowed city statua for all I care, but the mentality of the people haven’t advanced beyond 600 AC. State govt should have the wisdom that the term Seberang Prai be rebranded to Tanah Besar Pinang. Simultaneously, the name of the state should be Pinang, not Pulau Pinang. Until these corrections are done, the world would always have the perception of Penang being only an island. Nama negeri sebenarnya kena diperbetulkan kepada Pinang, nama pulau kekal seperti biasa Pulau Pinang dan nama tanah besar dinaik-tarafkan kepada Tanah Besar Pinang. Barulah adil, dan mencerminkan bak kata pepatah, 'Bagai PINANG dibelah DUA'!
