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

Sports Mole rounds up Manchester City's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Saturday's Premier League clash against Burnley at the Etihad Stadium.

Manchester City will be looking to get back to winning ways when they welcome Burnley to the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.

Pep Guardiola's side saw their midweek clash with Arsenal postponed for a second time at late notice due to growing concerns over the coronavirus outbreak, meaning that their last outing was Sunday's derby defeat to Manchester United.

Should City lose again on Saturday then it would give Liverpool the chance to clinch the title on Monday night, and the soon-to-be-dethroned champions may have one eye on Tuesday's Champions League showdown with Real Madrid.

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

Status: Minor doubt
Type of injury: Shoulder
Possible return date: March 14 (vs. Burnley)

One positive of the midweek match being postponed is that Kevin De Bruyne has had longer to recover from the shoulder injury which has ruled him out of the last two games. The Belgian was touch-and-go for the Arsenal game, but should be in contention to feature at the weekend.



Aymeric Laporte

Status: Out
Type of injury: Hamstring
Possible return date: March 21 (vs. Newcastle United)

Both this match and the second leg against Real Madrid look set to come too early for Aymeric Laporte, who has been sidelined since the Madrid first leg due to a hamstring injury.


Leroy Sane

Status: Minor doubt
Type of injury: Fitness
Possible return date: March 14 (vs. Burnley)

Guardiola confirmed that Leroy Sane has now fully recovered from the knee injury which has kept him sidelined since the Community Shield in August, but the German winger must first build up some match fitness before making his return. Sane is available to be included in the squad, though, and Guardiola is likely to use the Premier League to give him some much-needed minutes over the remainder of the campaign.



MAN CITY'S SUSPENSION LIST

Man City have no players suspended for this match.
