Manchester City return to Premier League action on Saturday afternoon with a fixture against Crystal Palace at the Etihad Stadium.
Pep Guardiola's side had enjoyed the perfect start to the season before they were held to a 3-3 draw by Newcastle United in an enthralling game at St James' Park.
City prepared for this contest with yet another six-goal thriller on Wednesday night as they shared the spoils with Barcelona in a charity match.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up Man City's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their contest with Crystal Palace, who prevailed in the corresponding fixture last season.
Aymeric Laporte
Status: Out
Type of injury: Knee
Possible return date: Unknown
Aymeric Laporte is currently recovering from the knee operation that he underwent earlier this summer, and the centre-back is unlikely to be available for selection for another month or so.
Status: Minor doubt
Type of injury: Knock
Possible return date: August 27 (vs. Crystal Palace)
Jack Grealish was absent against Newcastle in the Premier League on Sunday due to a knock that he suffered against Bournemouth earlier this month, but the attacker could recover in time for this contest.
Status: Major doubt
Type of injury: Muscle
Possible return date: August 27 (vs. Crystal Palace)
Nathan Ake was replaced in the first half of the clash with Newcastle after picking up an injury, so the centre-back has emerged as a major doubt for this game.
Status: Major doubt
Type of injury: Shoulder
Possible return date: Unknown
Kalvin Phillips sustained a knock to his shoulder in the friendly with Barcelona, resulting in his withdrawal. As it stands, it appears unlikely that the England international will play any part of this fixture.
