Manchester City have a slew of injury concerns heading into the weekend fixture at Crystal Palace. John Stones (Plantar Fasciitis), Phil Foden (bronchitis), Manuel Akanji (undisclosed) and Nathan Ake (thigh) are all likely to be ruled out of this one.
While Stones and Foden should be back in action before too long, we don’t know much yet about Akanji.

Ake will be on the shelf for awhile, with City manager Pep Guardiola saying, just yesterday:
“The [injury] problems continued… Nathan doesn’t look good. We will see tomorrow. He could not continue… I am sad for Nathan.”
Meanwhile Mateo Kovacic (undisclosed), Oscar Bobb (leg) and Rodri (knee) all remain out as longer-term injury absentees.

All in all, it looks like Guardiola could be without the services of up to seven players in this one.
