Manchester City team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Chelsea

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

Reigning champions Manchester City will be looking to get back to winning ways when they host Chelsea on Saturday.

Pep Guardiola's side were beaten 3-1 by league leaders Liverpool last time out and slipped down into fourth in the Premier League table as a result.

However, victory over third-placed Chelsea would see City leapfrog their opponents and prevent the Reds from widening the gap at the top of the league.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up City's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Saturday's contest.

Type of injury: Muscle
Possible return date: November 23 (vs. Chelsea)

Ederson was forced to miss the defeat to Liverpool but has been back in training over the international break and is very likely to return to the starting lineup against Chelsea.


Leroy Sane

Type of injury: Knee
Possible return date: January 18 (vs. Crystal Palace)

Guardiola has insisted that Sane will return before the end of the season, placing a comeback for the German winger at some point between December and February.


Aymeric Laporte

Possible return date: Unknown

City's defence has suffered greatly in the absence of Laporte but no timescale has yet been given for the centre-back's return after he suffered a serious knee injury.

Type of injury: Knee
Possible return date: December 7 (vs. Manchester United)

City are well-stocked at left-back and will hope that the options they have will step up in Zinchenko's absence, with the Manchester derby earmarked for his return.


MAN CITY'S SUSPENSION LIST
