Man City injury, suspension news vs. Club Brugge: Ruben Dias, Jeremy Doku, Nathan Ake, Oscar Bobb latest

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

Manchester City are outside of the playoff spots in the Champions League table ahead of their final game in the league phase of the competition against Club Brugge on Wednesday night.

An underwhelming campaign has left the Citizens down in 25th spot in the division, two points behind 24th-placed Stuttgart, so Pep Guardiola's side need to win this match to stand any chance of finishing inside the playoffs.

The English champions will enter this match off the back of a morale-boosting result, having come from behind to record a 3-1 victory over Chelsea in the Premier League on Saturday evening.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Man City's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest with Club Brugge, who are 20th in the division and currently in with a chance of reaching the knockout round.

Man City remain without midfielder Rodri due to a serious knee injury, and it had initially been thought that he would miss the rest of the season. However, the Spaniard recently offered a positive update on his recovery, suggesting that he could be back on the field before the end of the campaign.
