Manchester City will be without Nico O'Reilly and Jeremy Doku for their Champions League opener against Porto on Tuesday night.
Both O'Reilly and Doku were absent from training on Monday as they recover from injuries. O'Reilly was in the squad to face Coventry at the weekend, but was forced to withdraw during the warm-up due to a back issue. Meanwhile, Doku has been out since going off in the Community Shield defeat to Arsenal with a calf problem.
New signing Allan has been included in the matchday squad. He was missing at the weekend but trained on Monday and has flown out to Portugal for what could be his City debut. Enzo Fernandez, who replaced O'Reilly in the starting line-up on Saturday, also travels, as does Iliman Ndiaye.
Youngster Ryan McAidoo, who has been promoted to the first-team this season, has also made the travelling squad. But after not taking part in Monday's training session, Floyd Samba and Kaden Braithwaite are absent from the team. Young goalkeeper Jack Wint did feature in Monday's session but he also misses out.
Tuesday night will provide a stern test for City. Porto won the Liga Portugal last season and have started the defence of their title superbly. They have won all five of their league matches to start the campaign, conceding just once in the process.
However, the Blues have also enjoyed a good start to the season under Enzo Maresca. Saturday's 1-0 win over Coventry made it three Premier League wins from three for the new boss, and banished any concerns from the Community Shield defeat to Arsenal. Take a look at the full travelling squad below:
Goalkeepers - Gianluigi Donnarumma, Geronimo Rulli, Marcus Bettinelli
Defenders - Marc Guehi, Josko Gvardiol, Ruben Dias, Abdukodir Khusanov, Vitor Reis, Rayan Ait-Nouri, Matheus Nunes, Rico Lewis
Midfielders - Elliot Anderson, Enzo Fernandez, Ayyoub Bouaddi, Mateo Kovacic, Rayan Cherki, Phil Foden
Forwards - Antoine Semenyo, Iliman Ndiaye, Allan, Ryan McAidoo, Erling Haaland
