Manchester City will be aiming to overturn a first-leg deficit when they head to Spain on Wednesday for the second leg of their Champions League knockout round playoff with Real Madrid.
The Citizens suffered a 3-2 defeat to the reigning European champions in their first meeting in Manchester last week.
However, Pep Guardiola's side will enter this match off the back of a morale-boosting result, having beaten Newcastle United 4-0 in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up Man City's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest with Real Madrid, who drew 1-1 with Osasuna in La Liga in their last match.
