Man City injury, suspension list vs. Real Madrid

Manchester City's quest for Champions League glory continues with the first leg of their semi-final with Real Madrid at the Etihad on Tuesday night.

The Citizens have already dumped one Spanish capital side out of the tournament in Atletico Madrid, who went down 1-0 to Pep Guardiola's side on aggregate in the last eight.

City also enter the contest on the back of a 5-1 success over Watford in the Premier League, seeing them cement their position at the top of the rankings.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the home side's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with Los Blancos.

John Stones

John Stones was absent against Watford with the muscular issue that he picked up against Brighton & Hove Albion in midweek, and the centre-back is considered a major doubt for the first leg at the time of writing.
