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

Sports Mole rounds up Manchester City's injury and suspension news ahead of their Premier League clash with Manchester United on Sunday.

Manchester City will endeavour to remain in touching distance of Premier League leaders Liverpool when they welcome rivals Manchester United to the Etihad Stadium on Sunday.

Three days after beating Bournemouth 1-0 in the top flight, the Citizens put Luton Town to the sword 6-2 at Kenilworth Road on Tuesday, largely thanks to the five goals scored by Erling Haaland, to secure a safe passage through to the FA Cup quarter-finals.

Pep Guardiola's men have extended their unbeaten run in all competitions to 18 games and will be confident of success in the latest instalment of the Manchester derby having already beaten their bitter rivals 3-0 at Old Trafford earlier this season.

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


Jack Grealish

Status: Out
Type of injury: Groin
Possible return date: March 31 (vs. Arsenal)

Jack Grealish was recalled to the starting lineup against Luton after missing the previous three games with a groin injury, but the Englishman was withdrawn towards the end of the first half after aggravating the same problem. Guardiola has since confirmed that Grealish will miss the Manchester derby and may not be fit to represent England during the international break later this month.


Josko Gvardiol
