Man City XI vs Juventus: Starting lineup, confirmed team news, injury latest for Champions League game today

Manchester City have both Phil Foden and Mateo Kovacic fit for today’s Champions League clash with Juventus.

Foden missed the 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest as well as the draw at Crystal Palace with bronchitis, but was back in training on Tuesday and has been named in the squad that has travelled to Turin.

Also on the trip is Kovacic who is back sooner than expected, having picked up an injury while on injury duty November and has missed five matches since. The midfielder was initially ruled out until later in December, so his inclusion is a massive boost for City.

Pep Guardiola will still be fielding a patched-up back four with Nathan Ake, Manuel Akanji and John Stones ruled out. Rico Lewis was sent off against Palace but his ban only applies to domestic games so will be able to face Juventus. Josko Gvardiol will move to centre-back, with Lewis at full-back.

Starting Man City XI: Ederson, Walker, Dias, Gvardiol, Lewis, Gundogan, De Bruyne, Bernardo, Doku, Grealish, Haaland
