All you need to know about Man City's injury news ahead of the clash against Wolves, including updates on Matheus Nunes, Nico Gonzalez, Ruben Dias and others...
Marc Guehi: The January signing is ready to make his debut this weekend following his £20million transfer from Crystal Palace. His arrival is perfectly timed to provide much-needed relief to a defensive line that has been heavily depleted by recent injuries.
Matheus Nunes: Nunes remains a major doubt for the upcoming match as he continues to struggle with a persistent flu virus. Medical staff will conduct a late assessment on Friday to see if he has recovered enough to help fill gaps in the defensive unit.
Ruben Dias, Josko Gvardiol, and John Stones: The defensive trio are all currently unavailable, leaving City without three of their primary centre-backs. This specific cluster of defensive injuries has forced the Blues to rely on youth prospects and new signings to fill the void.
Nico Gonzalez: Gonzalez is still side-lined and has been ruled out of the squad as he recovers from an injury picked up against Brighton. Guardiola indicated the player is not yet ready for a return to competitive action, extending his spell on the treatment table.
Bernardo Silva: After missing the Champions League loss against Bodo/Glimt in midweek owing to his ban, Silva is set to return to the starting XI. His presence in the midfield is expected to provide the leadership and creativity City lacked during their recent defeat in Norway.
Mateo Kovacic: The midfielder has been out with an ankle injury since November. He also isn't expected to return until March.
Jeremy Doku: The Belgium winger is expected to be available for selection after remaining on the bench as an unused substitute during the last match. Having missed training sessions earlier on in the week, he is now working toward regaining full match fitness for the Wolves game.
Antoine Semenyo: He will be back in the matchday squad after being ineligible to play in City's most recent European fixture. He provides a fresh attacking option for Guardiola as the manager looks to rotate his squad and find a winning formula.
The wider squad... continues to be impacted by a total of seven missing first-team players despite the four recent returns. This ongoing injury crisis has seen the list of absentees reach as high as 12 players during most recent training sessions.
