Man City injury news and return dates for Feyenoord: Kovacic, Doku, Dias latest

Reeling from their latest and undoubtedly their most humiliating setback yet, Manchester City have many wrongs to right in Tuesday's Champions League clash with Feyenoord at the Etihad.

The buzz from Pep Guardiola's recent contract extension wore off over the course of 90 minutes on Saturday evening, when the reigning Premier League champions were annihilated 4-0 at home by Tottenham Hotspur.

That scarcely believable battering marked a fifth straight loss across all competitions for the Citizens, a sequence that includes an equally pitiful 4-1 defeat to Sporting Lisbon on Champions League matchday four.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Man City's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest with Feyenoord, who have collected six points from their opening four UCL games of the season to sit 21st in the standings.
