Man City XI vs RB Leipzig: Predicted lineup, confirmed team news, injury latest for Champions League today

The Ghana international, along with youngsters Ryan McAidoo and Kaden Braithwaite, was not spotted during Tuesday’s open training session before flying out to Germany, but Enzo Maresca still has a near complete squad to choose from.

There is, however, a decision to make in goal as Gianluigi Donnarumma has looked shaky in recent weeks and the City boss has made it clear that the Italian is not a guaranteed starter.

“They are two different things. There is no player that is undroppable but in this moment it is Gigio plus 10. In this moment I see it like this.”

Marc Guehi and Nico O’Reilly are pushing for returns after dropping down to the bench at the weekend, while Ayyoub Bouaddi could be rested after starting the last two games.

Phil Foden is highly likely to start as he was chosen for pre-match press conference duties, though he might be asked to operate from the right-hand side as Rayan Cherki is recalled in the No10 role behind Erling Haaland.

Predicted Man City XI vs RB Leipzig (4-2-3-1): Donnarumma; Nunes, Khusanov, Guehi, O’Reilly; Anderson, Fernandez; Foden, Cherki, Doku; Haaland
