Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola was unable to provide any firm updates on his four injury worries ahead of Saturday's Crystal Palace clash. Speaking in his pre-Eagles press conference, Guardiola said the picture would become clearer after Friday afternoon’s training session
He said: "We train this afternoon. Then I will know the situation of everyone. I don't know at the moment."
Jack Grealish sat out last weekend’s trip to Newcastle and the midweek clash with Barcelona after sustaining a knock in the 4-0 win over Bournemouth. Guardiola described it as “a little damage to his ligament but not much” and Grealish is rated as having a 75 per cent chance of playing against Palace by the Fantasy Premier League website.

Nathan Ake also missed the friendly with Barcelona on Wednesday through injury, having limped off against the Magpies. “I think it’s his groin,” was Guardiola’s immediate assessment.
Ake, who has started all three of City ’s Premier League fixtures, is also rated at 75% to play against Palace.
Kalvin Phillips departed early against Barcelona with what appeared to be a shoulder or forearm injury. City will be hoping it is not a recurrence of the shoulder problem that almost ruled the midfielder out of Euro 2020.
Luke Mbete was taken to hospital after suffering a sickening blow to the head in the 3-3 charity draw. The 18-year-old came off worse after an aerial challenge with Andreas Christensen and needed 10 minutes of treatment on the pitch and a night of observation at a Barcelona hospital.
He has since flown back to Manchester but is unlikely to be involved against Palace.
