Manchester City team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Tottenham Hotspur

Man City injury, suspension list vs. Tottenham

Manchester City will aspire to claim their first piece of silverware of the season when they face off against Tottenham Hotspur in Sunday's EFL Cup final at Wembley Stadium.

Pep Guardiola's side are no longer in the running for an unprecedented quadruple, but this weekend provides them with a magnificent opportunity to lift the EFL Cup for the fourth year running.

The Citizens head into this game on the back of a narrow 2-1 success over Aston Villa in the Premier League, during which Phil Foden and Rodri scored after John McGinn's first-minute opener.

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


Sergio Aguero

Status: Major doubt Type of injury: Muscular Possible return date: April 25 (vs. Spurs)

The injury-plagued Sergio Aguero is enduring another spell on the sidelines with a niggling muscular issue, and with the Argentine not being ready to face Villa in midweek, he is facing a race to be fit for the cup final.


Kevin De Bruyne

Status: Major doubt Type of injury: Ankle Possible return date: April 25 (vs. Spurs)

Kevin De Bruyne suffered an ankle injury during his side's defeat to former club Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-finals. However, Guardiola has offered a positive update on the playmaker's condition, and he may be ready for the final.


MAN CITY'S SUSPENSION LIST

John Stones

Return date: April 28 (vs. Paris Saint-Germain)

John Stones received his marching orders against Villa for a high challenge on Jacob Ramsey, and with the defender now set to serve a domestic suspension, he will not be available for Sunday's final.
