Yet more injury worries piling up ahead of visit to north London

Pep Guardiola is not expected to have Jeremy Doku available as Manchester City visit Tottenham on Sunday.

The Belgian winger started as City breezed by Galatasaray on Wednesday night, but lasted just 37 minutes before being withdrawn with a calf injury.

Speaking at full-time, Guardiola said: “[He is] Injured. The calf. He felt something.”

Asked whether he would miss the Tottenham clash, he responded: “I think so. Not just tonight all season but he has these problems, muscular. Hopefully in March he can be ready.”

Should he be ruled out, Rayan Cherki and Antoine Semenyo should take on the wing positions, with Tijjani Reijnders and Bernardo Silva operating in the central positions.

Rodri played no part against Galatasaray as he served a suspension and should be restored to the side in defensive midfield here, allowing Nico O’Reilly to return to his native left-back.

Guardiola’s injury headaches persist in defence, despite Matheus Nunes’ comeback. He may be forced to continue in Josko Gvardiol, Ruben Dias and John Stones’ absence, though Marc Guehi’s availability will provide another boost - he is not yet eligible to play in the Champions League.

Nathan Ake and Abdukodir Khusanov got the nod against Galatasaray, with the former most likely to keep his place against Tottenham. Max Alleyne, recently recalled from his loan to Watford, is also an option.

Gianluigi Donnarumma is in no danger of losing his place, and Erling Haaland, who broke his goal drought on Wednesday night, should keep his place.

Predicted Man City XI (4-1-4-1): Donnarumma; O’Reilly, Guehi, Ake, Nunes; Rodri; Semenyo, Reijnders, Silva, Cherki; Haaland

Injured: Doku, Gvardiol, Stones, Savinho, Dias, Kovacic, Bobb

Venue: Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
