Man City injury, suspension news and return dates for Tottenham clash: Doku, Dias, Gvardiol, Savinho, Stones latest

Manchester City will be looking to win their third game in a row in all competitions when they travel to North London to face Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.

The Citizens secured a 2-0 top-flight home win over Wolves last weekend and followed that up by beating Galatasaray by the same scoreline at the Etihad in the Champions League on Wednesday night.

However, their European triumph came at a price, as one of Pep Guardiola’s key players was forced off with an injury and has joined a number of other City starts in the treatment room

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Man City’s latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest against Thomas Frank’s side.

Possible return date: February 14 (vs. Salford)

After providing two assists against Galatasaray, Jeremy Doku was forced off with a calf injury in the first half and assistant coach Pep Lijnders has since revealed that the winger is set to miss a couple of weeks.

Josko Gvardiol

Status: Out

Type of injury: Tibial fracture
