Manchester City team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Red Star Belgrade

Man City injury, suspension list vs. Red Star

Manchester City will be looking to claim back-to-back victories when they travel to Serbia to face Red Star Belgrade in their final Champions League group-stage fixture on Wednesday night.

The Citizens ended a four-game winless run in the Premier League by beating Luton Town 2-1 at Kenilworth Road on Sunday courtesy of second-half goals from Bernardo Silva and Jack Grealish.

Pep Guardiola's side will now shift their focus back to the Champions League, and although they have already qualified for the last 16 as Group G winners, the reigning champions will endeavour to preserve their perfect record in the group by claiming maximum points against a Red Star side, who have already been eliminated.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Man City's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest with Barak Bakhar's side.


Kevin De Bruyne

Status: Out Type of injury: Hamstring Possible return date: Unknown

Kevin De Bruyne has been sidelined since August with a hamstring injury, and although the Belgian has been included in City's squad for the FIFA Club World Cup that takes place later this month, he is targeting a return to action in the New Year.


Erling Haaland

Status: Out Type of injury: Foot Possible return date: December 16 (vs. Crystal Palace)

Erling Haaland was not involved in the win at Luton due to a "bone stress reaction" in his foot according to Guardiola, who has suggested that the striker may not recover in time to face Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Saturday.


Jeremy Doku

Status: Out Type of injury: Muscle Possible return date: December 16 (vs. Crystal Palace)

Jeremy Doku has missed the last two games with a muscle injury, and Guardiola has stated that the winger may need "one week or two weeks" on the sidelines before he can return to the first-team fold.


MANCHESTER CITY'S SUSPENSION LIST

Manchester City have no suspended players for this match.
