Manchester City team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Sevilla

Manchester City will kick off another quest for Champions League glory on Tuesday as they travel to Sevilla for their opening encounter in Group G.

Pep Guardiola is yet to achieve continental glory with the reigning Premier League champions, who were dramatically dumped out by Real Madrid 6-5 on aggregate in last year's semi-finals.

The Citizens also dropped another two points in the English top flight at the weekend, with Aston Villa managing to glean a point in a 1-1 draw.

Centre-back Aymeric Laporte remains the Citizens' only long-term absentee as he recovers from knee surgery, and the Spaniard is unlikely to be back in training before the international break.

Kalvin Phillips's shoulder problem did not let up in time for him to take part at Villa Park, but the former Leeds United man could recover in time to travel to Spain.

Right-back Kyle Walker was forced off with an unspecified injury with 10 minutes to go against Villa at the weekend. Guardiola has since conceded that the 32-year-old will miss out this week.

As is the case with Walker, John Stones has also been ruled out of City's Champions League opener with an unspecified problem, and Guardiola is not sure when the centre-back will return.

Man City have no suspended players for this game.
