Man City injury, suspension news and return dates for Leyton Orient clash: Ruben Dias, Nathan Ake, Jeremy Doku, Oscar Bobb

Sports Mole rounds up Manchester City's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Saturday's FA Cup clash with Leyton Orient.

Manchester City will head to Leyton Orient on Saturday afternoon in the fourth round of the FA Cup.

Man City were 8-0 winners over Salford City in the third round of the competition, and they will now be bidding to avoid a shock exit to League One side Orient this weekend.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Man City's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest with the London club, who have beaten Boreham Wood, Oldham Athletic and Derby County in this season's FA Cup.
