Manchester City team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Red Star Belgrade

Sports Mole rounds up Manchester City's injury and suspension news ahead of their Champions League clash with Red Star Belgrade.

Manchester City will be aiming to make the perfect start to their Champions League title defence when they welcome Red Star Belgrade on Tuesday night.

The Citizens have a 100% record at the beginning of their 2023-24 Premier League campaign, picking up 15 points from five matches to top the table.

Pep Guardiola's side will also take on Young Boys and RB Leipzig in Group G and will be expected to comfortably top the section.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Man City's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest with Red Star Belgrade at the Etihad Stadium.
