Pep Guardiola confirmed the pair were major doubts when speaking after Man City’s late 2-1 win over Wolves on Sunday.

“I don't think they will be ready," Guardiola told Sky Sports.

"We have a few days training but I don't think so."

Nathan Ake, however, returned to the bench at Molineux and boosts Guardiola’s options in defence.

Rodri and Oscar Bobb are long-term absentees as City look for their second win of the new-look League phase, having made light work of Slovan Bratislava in a 4-0 victory last time out.

The City boss could bring in the likes of Stefan Ortega and Matheus Nunes in an effort to rotate the squad.

Man City predicted XI: Ortega, Lewis, Akanji, Dias, Gvardiol; Nunes, Gundogan, Silva; Foden, Haaland, Grealish

Doubts: De Bruyne, Walker

Injured: Bobb, Rodri

Time and date: 8pm BST on Wednesday 23 October 2024
