Manchester City team news: Injury, suspension list vs. RB Leipzig

Sports Mole rounds up Manchester City's injury and suspension news ahead of their Champions League clash with RB Leipzig.

Manchester City will be aiming to bounce back from successive domestic defeats when they head to RB Leipzig in the Champions League on Tuesday night.

Pep Guardiola's side suffered a 1-0 loss to Newcastle United in the EFL Cup last week before going down 2-1 to Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League on Saturday.

The Citizens remain top of the table, though, and they beat Red Star Belgrade in their Champions League opener on September 19.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Man City's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest with Leipzig, who beat Young Boys 3-1 in their section opener.

Possible return date: Unknown

De Bruyne underwent hamstring surgery at the end of August, and the Belgium international is not expected to be back on the field until the early stages of 2024.


John Stones

Status: Out
Type of injury: Muscle
Possible return date: October 8 (vs. Arsenal)

Stones has been absent since the Community Shield against Arsenal, and the defender will again miss out here, but there is a chance that he could be involved against Arsenal next weekend.


Bernardo Silva

Status: Major doubt
Type of injury: Leg
Possible return date: October 4 (vs. RB Leipzig)

Silva was again missing against Wolves due to injury, but the Portugal international could potentially be available for the clash with Leipzig on Tuesday night.


MANCHESTER CITY'S SUSPENSION LIST

Rodri is currently serving a domestic ban, but he will be available to play in the Champions League, so Man City do not have any players absent for this match through suspension.
