Stephen Ireland will be sidelined for a fortnight with a hamstring injury.
Ireland picked up the problem during Manchester City's 3-0 win at Wolves.
He was substituted after 55 minutes and is now likely to miss the club's next four matches.
City face Middlesbrough in the FA Cup on Saturday, followed by the first leg of their Carling Cup semi-final with arch-rivals Manchester United on Wednesday.
Blackburn visit Eastlands on January 11 and Roberto Mancini's men travel to Everton the following Saturday.
Ireland is expected to be back in action for the return leg against United at Old Trafford on January 19.
