Sports Mole rounds up Manchester City's injury and suspension news ahead of Wednesday's Champions League semi-final second leg with Real Madrid.

One week on from a closely-fought 1-1 draw in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final, Manchester City and Real Madrid prepare for battle at the Etihad Stadium in Wednesday's winner-takes-all return fixture.

The Citizens fell behind to a Vinicius Junior thunderbolt at the Santiago Bernabeu, but an equally sublime effort from Kevin De Bruyne saw Pep Guardiola's men deservedly take a draw back to base.

A 3-0 win over Everton at the weekend, coupled with Arsenal's defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion by the same scoreline, has also put Man City on the brink of a third consecutive Premier League title, which they will wrap up by beating Chelsea next weekend.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Man City's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the second leg with Carlo Ancelotti's side, whose 1-0 La Liga win over Getafe at the weekend was not enough to delay Barcelona's title coronation.

Nathan Ake

Status: Major doubt
Type of injury: Hamstring
Possible return date: May 17 (vs. Real Madrid)

Due to a hamstring injury picked up in their win over Leeds United earlier this month, Nathan Ake was not available for the first leg or Sunday's success over Everton. The Dutchman was feeling "much better" last week, according to Guardiola, but he failed to make the squad for the trip to Goodison Park and is facing a race against time to prove his fitness for Wednesday.
