Things are starting to ease-up on the injury front for Manchester City ahead of the Premier League match against Tottenham Hotspur at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday (4.30pm).
Nathan Ake adds to Man City injury problems ahead of Chelsea fixture
12.11.2023 - 16:15 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Manchester City travelled to Chelsea without Nathan Ake after the defender was ruled out with injury.
Ake came on for the injured John Stones for the second half of the Champions League game with Young Boys on Tuesday, and was mentioned by Pep Guardiola as an option to take on the Stones role while the England man is injured. However, the former Chelsea centre-back has suffered an injury that denied him the opportunity to take on his old club.
Josko Gvardiol starts at left-back for City at Stamford Bridge, with Manu Akanji filling in for Stones alongside Ruben Dias and Kyle Walker in defence. Jeremy Doku is the one surprise in the lineup, keeping Jack Grealish on the bench.

City will hope that Ake's injury is not too severe as they brace themselves for a run of tough fixtures after the international break. The Blues come up against Liverpool, Spurs and Villa in the three games after they return, and are already set to be without a number of players.
Guardiola said on Friday that the injury to Stones was not as bad as first feared but the club are not putting a timeframe on his return, and the same is true of Kevin De Bruyne as he recovers from the second serious hamstring injury of the year. Sergio Gomez is also sidelined, although the expectation is that he will be back training with the group later this month.
