Manchester City team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Wycombe Wanderers

Sports Mole rounds up Manchester City's injury and suspension news ahead of Tuesday's EFL Cup clash with Wycombe Wanderers.

Manchester City will be looking to progress to the fourth round of the EFL Cup when they welcome Wycombe Wanderers to the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday night.

The Citizens will enter the League Cup fixture off the back of a goalless draw with Southampton in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.

Pep Guardiola's side have won this competition in each of the last four seasons, beating Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 in the 2021 final earlier this year to land the trophy for the eighth time.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Man City's injury and suspension news ahead of the encounter with Wycombe, who operate in the third tier of English football.


John Stones

Possible return date: September 21 (vs. Wycombe)

John Stones did not feature against Leipzig or Southampton due to a muscular problem but could potentially be available for the clash with Wycombe.


Aymeric Laporte
