Sports Mole rounds up Manchester City's injury and suspension news ahead of their Champions League clash with Sparta Prague on Wednesday.

Manchester City welcome Czech champions Sparta Prague to the Etihad Stadium for their third match in the Champions League on Wednesday night.

The Citizens have picked up four points from their opening two fixtures in the newly-expanded Champions League, with a 0-0 opening draw with Inter Milan followed by a 4-0 victory away against Slovan Bratislava three weeks ago.

Pep Guardiola's side enter this contest with Sparta Prague on the back of claiming a 2-1 comeback victory away against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League on Sunday, extending their unbeaten start to the season to 12 matches.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Man City's latest injury and suspension news ahead of this match with their Czech-based opponents.
