Nathan Ake has been sidelined for the past four matches due to a muscle injury, while young talent Oscar Bobb has fully recovered from the broken leg he suffered before the season started.

The 21-year-old, as stated by Guardiola, was expected to make his return midweek but was eventually left out of the matchday squad, leaving his involvement for the weekend uncertain.

As anticipated, Rodri remains unavailable due to a long-term ACL injury.

However, Guardiola does have the option to use City’s January signings Omar Marmoush, Vitor Reis, and Abdukodir Khusanov, as they were unavailable for the Club Brugge game.
