Manchester City will be looking to make it two wins from two when they host Leicester City in their first home game of the new Premier League season on Sunday.
Pep Guardiola's side opened their campaign with an impressive 3-1 win at Wolverhampton Wanderers on Monday night, before backing that up by beating Bournemouth in the EFL Cup.
A difficult start to the league season continues with Sunday's showdown with Leicester, though, and the Foxes arrive at the Etihad Stadium in fine form themselves.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up Man City's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest, with Guardiola claiming that he has only 13 fit players at his disposal.

Status: Out
Type of injury: Unspecified
Possible return date: Unknown
Gabriel Jesus will miss at least three weeks with an injury he sustained against Wolves on Monday - a revelation which came as a surprise after the Brazilian played the full 90 minutes in that game and capped off the scoring late on. Jesus has already been forced to withdraw from the Brazil squad, meaning that he will not be back in action until mid-October at the earliest.

Possible return date: September 27 (vs. Leicester)
Aymeric Laporte is one of three Man City players to have tested positive for coronavirus and, while he has now recovered from the disease, it did hinder his pre-season preparations and means that he is still working his way back up to fitness after missing City's first two games.

Possible return date: October 3 (vs. Leeds United)
Ilkay Gundogan's positive COVID-19 test was announced on the morning of the Wolves game on Monday, meaning that he must undergo 10 days of isolation. Such is the packed nature of the fixture schedule that he will miss at least four games in that time and may not be ready to return until after the international break.

Like Bernardo, Oleksandr Zinchenko sustained a muscle injury in training ahead of Monday's meeting with Wolves and he too is unlikely to return this side of October's international break.
