Man City injury news and return dates before Brentford clash: Foden, Savio latest

Sports Mole rounds up Manchester City's injury and suspension news ahead of Saturday's Premier League clash with Brentford.

Three for three in Premier League matches so far this season, Manchester City endeavour to prolong their perfect start when Brentford visit the Etihad Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

Pep Guardiola's men went into the international break sitting pretty at the top of the standings, having seen off Chelsea, Ipswich Town and most recently West Ham United in their first trio of matches in 2024-25.

The Citizens are only above Liverpool on goals scored, though, while Arsenal, Brighton & Hove Albion, Newcastle United, Aston Villa and upcoming opponents Brentford are all within touching distance.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Man City's injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with the Bees, who have taken six points from a possible nine so far.
