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

Manchester City will be bidding to return to winning ways after back-to-back draws when they travel to Bournemouth in the Premier League on Saturday evening.

Pep Guardiola's side were held to a 1-1 draw by Nottingham Forest in the Premier League last weekend before the same scoreline occurred in the first leg of their last-16 Champions League affair with RB Leipzig on Wednesday.

The Citizens are second in the table, two points behind leaders Arsenal, who have a game in hand, while they are only three points ahead of third-placed Manchester United in England's top flight.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up their latest injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with Bournemouth, who currently sit down in 17th position in the table.

Like Laporte, Kevin De Bruyne did not feature against Leipzig due to an illness, so the Belgian will need to be assessed before a final decision on his involvement this weekend is made.

Manchester City have no suspended players for this match.
