The latest injury news from Manchester City.
There is one player who will feature in today’s match against Manchester City. Josko Gvardiol will not feature today as he is still recovering from a fractured tibia in his right leg against Chelsea at the start of the year. However, the Croatia international is on the verge of an accelerated recovery and is expected to return to running in the near future.
John Stones ended his international match early due to a calf injury. As of now, there has been no further update on Stones’ condition. Due to this particular injury, the England international’s availability for today’s game is uncertain.
Ruben Dias missed Manchester City’s Carabao Cup final against Arsenal with a hamstring injury. City’s defensive leader has been given two weeks to recover from the issue, but his availability for today’s game is unlikely to be known until the squad is announced.
