Manchester City have a full squad from which to choose for tomorrow's FA Cup tie against Fulham - apart from Gabriel Jesus and Cole Palmer.
Blues boss Pep Guardiola today revealed that Jesus has returned from World Cup qualifying duty with Brazil with a niggly injury and is not in the reckoning for the clash with the Championship leaders.
And Palmer, who was missing with an injury issue before the international break, is also not fit enough to be in the reckoning as City return to action and prepare for a busy three weeks on three different fronts, with league games against Brentford and Norwich looming, quickly followed by the first leg of the Champions League last 16 game at Sporting Lisbon.
But the bulk of the squad is available for selection, and with batteries recharged, most of them having taken advantage of the enforced lay-off by flying to holiday destinations around the globe.
Jesus played against both Ecuador and Brazil as a substitute, but picked up a knock while he was in South America and is not ready to rejoin Guardiola's squad.
Asked if he had a full squad, Guardiola replied: "Yeah except Gabriel comes with niggles from the international break. The rest before the international break are able.
"Cole Palmer is not ready, after the FA Cup (third round win at Swindon) he had problems and still is not available for training since then. We'll see what happens in the next weeks."
