Man City injury, suspension news and return dates for Bournemouth clash: Savinho, Akanji, Grealish, Doku latest

Sports Mole rounds up Manchester City's injury and suspension news ahead of their Premier League clash with Bournemouth on Saturday.

The Citizens suffered their first defeat of the season on Wednesday night when they lost 2-1 away against Tottenham Hotspur in the last 16 of the EFL Cup.

Pep Guardiola's injury-hit side will now shift their focus back to the Premier League where they currently sit one point clear of Liverpool at the summit after winning seven and drawing two of their first nine games.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Man City latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest with Andoni Iraola's side.
