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

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

Manchester City will be looking to continue their dominant start to Premier League life after lockdown when they take on Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Thursday night.

Pep Guardiola's side have prolonged their title reign courtesy of victories over Arsenal and Burnley so far, scoring eight goals without reply in the process.

A visit to Champions League-chasing Chelsea will be their toughest test since returning to action, though, with Frank Lampard's side having also won their first game back to move five points clear of Manchester United.

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



Sergio Aguero

Sergio Aguero limped off with a knee problem during the Burnley rout, with Guardiola admitting that his injury "doesn't look good". The Argentine will now travel to Barcelona to see a specialist, but could require surgery which may rule him out for the remainder of the season.



Phil Foden
