Pep Guardiola says there has been no improvement regarding our injured defenders.
Rico Lewis’ suspension adds to John Stones, Nathan Ake and Manuel Akanji’s absence, leaving the City boss to mull over his options for Sunday’s Manchester derby.
While Ake and Stones seem a while off returning, there was hope Akanji might recover in time for the weekend, but Guardiola says that is unlikely.
Asked if any of his players were playing with injuries at present, the boss replied: “Kevin is coming back, last game was better than the previous ones – he’s been two months injured, five months last season, step by step.
“Erling played all the minutes which is unbelievable. Without him, I don’t know where we would be.
