Jack Grealish has become the latest Manchester City player to suffer an injury this season and will miss the Fulham game.
Grealish was not included in the matchday squad for the visit of Marco Silva's side after picking up a slight thigh injury. While it isn't set to keep the England star sidelined for long, it remains to be seen if he will link up with the national team for their upcoming games after being named in the squad earlier this week.
Juanma Lillo, taking charge of the team again in the absence of the injured Pep Guardiola, was able to welcome Manu Akanji back into his squad after the Swiss defender missed the 2-1 win at Sheffield United. He starts against Fulham alongside Phil Foden, who is fit to start after illness prevented him from playing a full part in the win at Bramall Lane.
In Grealish's absence, Jeremy Doku makes his first start for the club following his £55m move from Rennes last month. Julian Alvarez and Erling Haaland also feature in attack.

Grealish was an unused substitute in the Premier League opener at Burnley but had featured against Newcastle and Sheffield United. He joins John Stones and Kevin De Bruyne on the sidelines; Stones is also expected back soon but De Bruyne will be out until 2024.
With Cole Palmer joining Chelsea on a permanent deal and James McAtee allowed to leave on loan for Sheffield United in the final week of the transfer window, Scott Carson makes the squad for the first league game this season to mean City have two keepers on their bench.
City XI: Ederson, Walker (C), Dias, Akanji, Ake, Rodri, Kovacic, Foden, Doku, Alvarez, Haaland.
Subs: Ortega, Carson, Phillips, Bernardo, Gomez, Gvardiol, Nunes, Bobb, Lewis.
