**Man City defender Abdukodir Khusanov is a doubt to face Crystal Palace on Wednesday night.**
The Uzbek international was absent from the matchday squad for the 3-0 win over Brentford at the weekend.
Asked why Khusanov was unavailable, manager Pep Guardiola confirmed that the centre-back picked up an issue during the 3-3 draw versus Everton:
“He got a tough knock – it’s not danger – but a painful area last game… against Everton with Beto. Yeah, it’s not great.”
**Expected Return Date – Saturday 16th May vs Chelsea**
