Manchester City are without Rodri once again as they travel to the capital to face Fulham tonight.

The 2024 Ballon d’Or winner has been plagued with fitness issues this term, making an initial comeback from an ACL injury that ruled him out for most of last season, and is struggling with a niggling hamstring problem this time around.

Rodri was believed to be in line for a return to action after the November international break, but that timeline has been pushed back slightly.

Pep Guardiola in his two-minute pre-match press conference on Monday that Rodri was “not yet” fit to play, thus would not travel with the squad for their trip to Craven Cottage.

The Spaniard is the only immediate injury concern for City, with Mateo Kovacic a longer-term absentee after ankle surgery.

It therefore left Guardiola with an otherwise full complement to pick from.

His tinkering against Bayer Leverkusen backfired, choosing to rest key players as his side were swept aside 2-0 at the Etihad Stadium in the Champions League.

Guardiola reverted back to type against Leeds - where City recorded a last-gasp 3-2 victory - but there were a couple of changes to his starting XI.

He has plumped for the same XI tonight, with Bernardo Silva and Tijjani Reijnders flanking Nico in the engine room, and Phil Foden off the right flank.

Guardiola keeps his back four constant too, with Nico O’Reilly and Matheus Nunes at full-back.

Starting Man City XI (4-3-3): Donnarumma; Nunes, Dias, Gvardiol, O’Reilly; Silva, Nico, Reijnders; Foden, Haaland, Doku
