The Blues are in the midst of an injury crisis that has hampered their season to date with a host of players currently sidelined. There is optimism that the return of the Premier League will see a return of some senior stars but there remains plenty of doubt around others.
City have Croatian pair Josko Gvardiol and Mateo Kovacic in action tonight, while Ederson and Savinho (Brazil) and Stefan Ortega (Germany) also still have fixtures to play this week. Here's the latest from the Etihad treatment room.
