Manchester City injury and suspension list vs. Swansea City

Man City injury and suspension list vs. Swansea

The next leg of Manchester City's quadruple-chasing quest takes them to Swansea City on Saturday evening for an FA Cup quarter-final.

City have won 18 of their last 19 matches overall and remain on course to win all four competitions they entered this season, including the EFL Cup, which is already in the bag.

Tuesday's 7-0 thumping of Schalke 04 in the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie made it 63 goals scored across those 18 victories, setting them up nicely for their trip to South Wales.

The Citizens have a two-week break between matches after this weekend's clash with Swansea, so Pep Guardiola is expected to go with a strong starting lineup.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the English champions' latest injury and suspension news ahead of the match at the Liberty Stadium.


MAN CITY'S INJURY LIST

Fernandinho

Status: Out Type of injury: Muscle Possible return date: March 30

City have coped well without one of their most important players over the past few weeks. Guardiola is hopeful that this will be the last match the holding midfielder sits out.


Kevin De Bruyne

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

De Bruyne is facing an indefinite spell on the sidelines in what has been an injury-plagued campaign. The Belgian could be back for the trip to Fulham at the end of the month, but he will definitely play no part against Swansea.


Benjamin Mendy

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

Another player who has struggled for minutes this term, Mendy recently suffered fresh inflammation to his knee which will keep him out of this quarter-final tie.


Claudio Bravo

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

A long-term injury absentee, no return date has yet been set for Bravo from his Achilles problem.


MAN CITY SUSPENSION LIST

Man City have no players suspended for this match.
