Manchester City injury news

Leroy Sane (knee) is on the only injury problem for Pep Guardiola, but the German is expected to return in the coming weeks.

Long-term absence Aymeric Laporte (knee) has recently come through starts against Sheffield United, West Ham and Leicester, but did not play the 90 minutes in any of those ties.

Other question marks come on the flanks with Guardiola having to choose between Bernardo Silva or Riyadh Mahrez on the right-hand side.
