Man City injury news and return dates for Fulham clash: De Bruyne, Rodri, Ake

Manchester City welcome Fulham to the Etihad Stadium for a Premier League clash on Saturday afternoon.

The Citizens were forced to settle for a 1-1 draw at Newcastle United last weekend and have since cruised to a 4-0 victory away against Slovan Bratislava in the Champions League on Tuesday night.

Fulham, meanwhile, secured a narrow 1-0 victory at Nottingham Forest in their most recent Premier League game last weekend and sit sixth in the table, just three points behind Man City in second.
