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

Sports Mole rounds up Manchester City injury and suspension news ahead of their Premier League clash with Bournemouth on Saturday.

Manchester City will be looking to boost their Premier League title hopes and claim back-to-back victories when they travel to the Vitality Stadium to face Bournemouth on Saturday evening.

The Citizens bounced back from their 1-1 draw with Chelsea last weekend by securing a slender 1-0 home win over Brentford on Tuesday night, courtesy of a second-half strike from Erling Haaland.

Pep Guardiola's side, who are still dealing with a few fitness issues, currently sit second in the top-flight table, just one point behind leaders Liverpool who play host to Luton Town on Wednesday.

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


Kevin De Bruyne

Status: Minor doubt
Type of injury: Hamstring
Possible return date: February 24 (vs. Bournemouth)

Kevin De Bruyne watched on as an unused substitute against Brentford and Guardiola has since revealed that he 'did not want to take any risks' with the playmaker who is nursing "niggles" in his hamstring.


Jack Grealish

Status: Out
Type of injury: Muscle
Possible return date: Unknown

Jack Grealish suffered a muscle injury during Man City's Champions League win over Copenhagen earlier this month. Guardiola has since been unable to put a specific date on the Englishman's potential return, suggesting that it could be "10 days, maybe three weeks, maybe a month".


Josko Gvardiol

Josko Gvardiol has missed Man City's last three games in all competitions with an ankle ligament injury and it is thought that he could be in a position to return at the beginning of next month.
