Two key Manchester City players one booking away from Champions League suspension

Two key Man City players one booking away from CL suspension

Manchester City have two key players who are just one booking away from a suspension heading into the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie with Atletico Madrid on Wednesday night.

Pep Guardiola's men take a narrow 1-0 advantage to the Wanda Metropolitano, after Kevin De Bruyne scored the only goal in the first leg at the Ethiad Stadium last week.

De Bruyne, however, is one of two players who is in danger of picking up a one-match ban and missing the first leg of a potential semi-final with Real Madrid, should City progress past Atletico.

Versatile full-back Joao Cancelo will also serve a one-game suspension if he receives a yellow card on Wednesday.

Guardiola is able to welcome back Kyle Walker for the second leg in Madrid, as the right-back has served his three-match European ban following a straight red card in City's group-stage defeat away against RB Leipzig.

Gabriel Jesus, however, will not be involved on Wednesday after he picked up his third yellow card in this year's tournament for dissent in the first leg.

Man City will be looking to reach the Champions League semi-finals for the second successive season and for the third time in their history with an aggregate victory over Diego Simeone's side.
