Manchester City team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Leicester

Sports Mole rounds up all of Manchester City's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Saturday's Premier League clash with Leicester City.

Manchester City will return to Premier League action after the international break with a trip to the King Power Stadium to take on Leicester City.

The Citizens have collected six points from their first three matches of the 2021-22 campaign and thumped Arsenal 5-0 in their last game at the end of August.

Pep Guardiola's side, who sit seventh in the Premier League table, will now take on a Leicester side that beat them 1-0 in the Community Shield at the start of last month.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Man City's injury and suspension news ahead of the encounter with the Foxes, who also have six points from their first three matches.
