Manchester City suffered another Champions League collapse as they blew a two-goal lead to lose 4-2 at PSG.

Second half goals from Jack Grealish and Erling Haaland handed City a 2-0 lead which looked to put them on course to secure a vital win in Paris.

But goals from Ousmane Dembele, Bradley Barcola, Joao Neves and Goncalo Ramos ensured Luis Enrique's side came from behind to win 4-2 and leapfrog City in the Champions League table.

Defeat for Pep Guardiola's side has left them outside of the top 24 and nothing less than a win against Club Brugge next Wednesday will be enough to secure their passage to the play-off round.

Their loss in the French capital came at a further cost, too, as their injury situation was worsened in defeat. Here's a look at how the City treatment table now looks.

Ruben Dias

Injury: Unknown

What we know: Dias was replaced at half-time in Paris and Guardiola has confirmed he asked to be replaced as he 'didn't feel good' and didn't feel like he could play in the second half.

Potential return date: Unknown

Jeremy Doku

Injury: Unknown

What we know: Doku was one of the stars of the 6-0 win over Ipswich on Sunday but picked up an issue and did not travel to Paris for the loss to PSG.

Potential return date: Unknown

Nathan Ake

Injury: Unknown

What we know: Ake was not involved at Ipswich with the club confirming he was out injured. It is unclear what the issue is or when he might be fit to return to action but he wasn't involved against PSG.

Potential return date: Unknown

Oscar Bobb

Injury: Fractured leg

What we know: Bobb has not featured for City this season having picked up a serious issue in pre-season. But he is closing in on a comeback in what will be a welcome addition to the squad. Guardiola said this month: “[He is] training with the team partially. That’s good news for us. It was a fractured bone. Now that is healed, he’s fine but good news is he’s back.”

Potential return date: February 2025

Rodri

Injury: Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL)

What we know: Rodri has sustained a serious knee injury and will be out until the middle of next year. He has spoken of his desire to play again this season, possibly in the Club World Cup. The Spaniard has travelled to Paris to support the squad, though.

Potential return date: June 2025
