Manchester City team news: Injury, suspension list vs. West Ham United

Sports Mole looks at the latest injury and suspension news for Manchester City ahead of Wednesday's Premier League encounter with West Ham United.

Manchester City return to Premier League action against West Ham United on Wednesday night having successfully defended the EFL Cup.

Pep Guardiola's side were taken to a penalty shootout by Chelsea, but the North-West giants were eventually able to emerge victorious at Wembley Stadium.

However, the victory came at a cost, with more players joining an already-lengthy injury list ahead of two more matches this week.

Here, Sports Mole looks at Man City's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their encounter with Manuel Pellegrini's side.
