Stones, Ederson, Nunes updates: Man City injury, suspension news vs. West Ham

Manchester City will be aiming to make it back-to-back wins in the Premier League when they welcome West Ham United to the Etihad Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

The Citizens picked up a much-needed three points in England's top flight on Sunday, beating Leicester City 2-0 at the King Power Stadium, which proved to be just their second league success since the end of October.

Pep Guardiola's side have dropped down to sixth spot in the Premier League table due to their recent struggles, and they currently sit 14 points behind the leaders Liverpool, who still have a game in hand.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Man City's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest with West Ham, who will enter the contest off the back of a 5-0 home defeat to Liverpool.


Rodri

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

Rodri, who suffered an ACL injury back in September, remains a long-term absentee for Man City, but there is a slight chance that he could return before the end of the campaign.


Oscar Bobb

Status: Out Type of injury: Leg fracture Possible return date: February 2 (vs. Arsenal)

Bobb continues to recover from the leg bone fracture that he suffered in August, but a return for the attacker is not too far away, with the 21-year-old expected to be available again in the early stages of February.


Ruben Dias

Status: Out Type of injury: Muscle Possible return date: January 11 (vs. Salford City)

Dias sustained a muscular problem in the recent 2-1 defeat to Manchester United, and the Portugal international will again be absent for the Citizens this weekend.


John Stones

Status: Major doubt Type of injury: Ankle Possible return date: January 4 (vs. West Ham)

Stones has recently been unavailable for selection due to an ankle problem, but there is a slight chance that the England international could be back in the fold for the clash with West Ham this weekend.


Matheus Nunes

Status: Major doubt Type of injury: Unspecified Possible return date: January 4 (vs. West Ham)

Nunes has missed Man City's last three Premier League matches due to an unspecified injury problem, and it is unclear at this moment in time whether the midfielder will return to the squad against West Ham.


Ederson

Status: Major doubt Type of injury: Knock Possible return date: January 4 (vs. West Ham)

Ederson has been absent for Man City's last three Premier League matches due to a knock, and the goalkeeper will need to be assessed before it is determined whether he will be involved in this match.
