Manchester City team news: Injury suspension list vs. Fulham

Sports Mole rounds up the latest injury and suspension news for Manchester City ahead of Saturday's trip to Fulham, when they could return to the top of the table.

Manchester City have the chance to move back to the top of the Premier League table on Saturday when they take on relegation-threatened Fulham at Craven Cottage.

The champions spent the international break sitting second behind Liverpool, who moved two points clear with a win over the Cottagers while City were in FA Cup action.

City do now have a game in hand over Jurgen Klopp's side, but victory this weekend might only be enough to lift them top for a temporary spell with Liverpool playing on Sunday.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest injury and suspension news for Pep Guardiola's side.


MAN CITY'S INJURY LIST

Fernandinho

Status: Slight doubt
Type of injury: Groin
Possible return date: March 30 (vs. Fulham)

Guardiola expects Fernandinho to return for this weekend's match, with the Brazilian having used the international break to aid his recovery from a groin problem.


Kevin De Bruyne

Status: Slight doubt
Type of injury: Hamstring
Possible return date: March 30 (vs. Fulham)

Guardiola's midfield options could be further boosted by the return of Kevin De Bruyne, who has missed the last three games with a hamstring problem.


Benjamin Mendy

Status: Slight doubt
Type of injury: Knee
Possible return date: March 30 (vs. Fulham)

Benjamin Mendy has suffered another injury-plagued campaign at the Etihad Stadium but, having spent the international break working on his fitness, he could be in contention to feature this weekend.


John Stones

Type of injury: Groin
Possible return date: March 30 (vs. Fulham)

John Stones has not featured since picking up a groin injury against Bournemouth at the start of the month, but he too has been working his way back to fitness during the international break and is expected to have recovered by Saturday.


Nicolas Otamendi

Status: Major doubt
Type of injury: Ankle
Possible return date: March 30 (vs. Fulham)

Nicolas Otamendi played the full 90 minutes in Man City's last outing against Swansea City, but he is struggling with an ankle injury and faces a race against time to be fit for the trip to London.


Fabian Delph

Status: Slight doubt
Type of injury: Knock
Possible return date: March 30 (vs. Fulham)

Fabian Delph was forced to withdraw from the England squad after picking up a knock and remains doubtful for this weekend.

Vincent Kompany missed the last two games before the international break and remains sidelined with a muscular injury this weekend.
