Walker, De Bruyne, Bobb - Man City injury latest and return dates ahead of Sparta Prague

Manchester City remain without an injured quartet as they prepare for the Champions league clash with Sparta Prague on Wednesday night.

Kyle Walker and Kevin De Bruyne are the closest to returning but neither is fit enough to take part in midweek. Walker returned from international duty with England with an injury and a timescale on his return has been set while De Bruyne is training but is not being rushed back.

Oscar Bobb and Rodri are long term absentees with the latter out for the season and Bobb at least a month or two away from a first team return. Here's the latest City injury news.
