Manchester City will be looking to return to winning ways on Tuesday evening when they travel to the Orange Velodrome to take on Marseille in the Champions League.
Pep Guardiola's side began their European campaign with a comfortable 3-1 victory over Portuguese champions Porto at the Etihad, with the Spaniard still searching for his first taste of Champions League glory with City.
However, the Citizens make the journey across the Channel having been held to a 1-1 draw by West Ham United in the Premier League, with Phil Foden rescuing a point for Guardiola's men after Michail Antonio's impressive opener.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up Man City's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their trip to Marseille.

Guardiola hinted that Aymeric Laporte could have been involved in some capacity against West Ham, but the defender did not make the squad for the trip to the capital. However, Laporte has made the journey across the Channel and could make his return to action in midweek.

Ake was forced to sit out the stalemate with West Ham with a tight groin and will play no part against Marseille either, although the return of Oleksandr Zinchenko has eased Guardiola worries on the left-hand side of defence.
