Manchester City team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Arsenal

Sports Mole rounds up Manchester City's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Sunday's Premier League clash with Arsenal.

Manchester City will be looking to return to winning ways in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon when they head to the Emirates Stadium to take on Arsenal.

The Premier League champions suffered a 2-1 defeat at home to Manchester United last weekend, meaning that they are 14 points behind division leaders Liverpool on the same number of matches.

The Citizens will enter this weekend's contest off the back of a win, though, having rounded off their Champions League group-stage campaign with an impressive 4-1 success away to Dinamo Zagreb on Wednesday night.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up City's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the clash.

Possible return date: January 18 (vs. Crystal Palace)

Leroy Sane has been on the sidelines since injuring knee ligaments against Liverpool in the Community Shield towards the start of August. The Germany international is expected to return in early 2020, with the clash against Crystal Palace on January 18 a possibility for the attacker.
