Manchester City injury, suspension list vs. Watford

Sports Mole rounds up Manchester City's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the FA Cup final against Watford.

Manchester City will be looking to complete a domestic treble when they face Watford in the final of the FA Cup on Saturday afternoon.

City wrapped up the Premier League title with a 4-1 win over Brighton & Hove Albion at the weekend.

Pep Guardiola's side ultimately finished one point clear of second-placed Liverpool at the end of what was an incredible race for the title.

The Citizens also landed the EFL Cup crown back in February and will therefore be looking to secure their third domestic crown this season when they take on the Hornets at Wembley.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest injury and suspension news for the Citizens.

Status: Major doubt
Type of injury: Knee
Possible return date: May 18 (vs. Watford)

Fernandinho picked up a knee injury during City's 2-0 victory over Manchester United on April 24. The midfielder has since missed the wins over Burnley, Leicester City and Brighton. There is a chance that he could be fit this weekend, but a call will be made later in the week.


Claudio Bravo

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

Number two goalkeeper Claudio Bravo is currently recovering from an Achilles operation, and the Chile international will definitely be absent for the FA Cup final. A return for pre-season in July, though, is very much on the cards.

MAN CITY'S SUSPENSION LIST

City have no suspensions heading into Saturday's clash in the English capital.
