Manchester City team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Young Boys

Manchester City can secure a safe passage into the last 16 of the Champions League when they meet BSC Young Boys at the Etihad in Tuesday's Group G battle.

Pep Guardiola's men are already assured of at least a third-placed finish in the section, having followed up opening wins over RB Leipzig and Red Star Belgrade with a 3-1 triumph over the Swiss outfit at Stadion Wankdorf two weeks ago.

The Citizens also rose to the top of the Premier League table with a 6-1 destruction of Bournemouth in Saturday's Premier League game, where the vivacious Jeremy Doku scored once and set up four more for his new club.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Man City's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the reunion with Young Boys, who are third in the group with a solitary point to their name.

Status: Major doubt Type of injury: Ankle Possible return date: November 7 (vs. Young Boys)

Erling Haaland's afternoon against Bournemouth ended prematurely as the Norwegian talisman - who did not contribute to a goal on the day - was withdrawn at half time after twisting his ankle. Guardiola is yet to rule Haaland out of Tuesday's game, but there is no guarantee that he will lead the line.

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

City could therefore be without their two prize jewels in the crown this week, as Kevin De Bruyne is still on the road to recovery from a hamstring problem and is expected to miss the remainder of the calendar year.

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

Backup left-back Sergio Gomez was a notable absentee from the squad to take on Bournemouth and was subsequently seen on crutches after apparently picking up an unspecified injury in training, which will seemingly render him unavailable for a while.

Manchester City have no suspended players for this match.
