Manchester City vs PSG: Latest City injury news and predicted City starting eleven | OneFootball

Manchester City will take on PSG tonight in a pivotal UEFA Champions League league phase fixture at the Park de Princes. It is a crucial match for both teams, with both sides facing a battle to qualify for the knockout stage of the competition. Here is the latest Manchester City injury news and my predicted City starting eleven ahead of tonight’s match.

Latest City injury news

There was both good and bad news on the injury front for Manchester City heading into tonight’s match. When City’s travelling squad was released yesterday Jeremy Doku, Nathan Ake and Oscar Bobb were all not named in City’s travelling party. They will all miss tonight’s match. Obviously, Rodri is out of tonight’s match as he continues his recovery from the ACL injury he suffered against Arsenal in September. There was no update provided on their injury status by Pep Guardiola yesterday during his pre-game press conference ahead of tonight’s match.

John Stones has travelled for tonight’s match as he looks to finally be fit enough to play.

New signings Abdukodir Khusanov and Vitor Reis are unavailable for tonight’s match. They aren’t registered in City’s Champions League squad so they can’t debut tonight for the world champions.

Predicted City starting eleven

Ederson: I thought Ederson played well against Ipswich Town and that form should see him start tonight.

Rico Lewis: Lewis has been rested lately and I believe he will start ahead of Matheus Nunes tonight.

Ruben Dias: The Portuguese international returned against Ipswich Town and made a huge difference to Manchester City’s play. I expect him to start tonight due to the leadership he brings to Pep Guardiola’s side.

Manuel Akanji: With Ake out and Stones having just returned from injury there doesn’t appear to be any reason why Akanji won’t start against PSG.

Josko Gvardiol: An automatic selection at left-back and he has been getting back into form recently. He will have a massive role to play tonight.

Mateo Kovacic: I can’t see Kovacic not starting tonight. The Croatian midfielder will have a pivotal role to play against PSG’s young and athletic midfield.

Bernardo Silva: The Portuguese international didn’t play against Ipswich Town. He should be fit and ready to start tonight’s crucial fixture.

Kevin De Bruyne: The Belgian international has returned to his best recently and it would be a shock if he didn’t start tonight’s crucial match.

Phil Foden: Foden has started 2025 in sparkling form as he looks to be back to his best.

Savinho: With Doku out that should see Savinho return to the starting lineup. The Brazilian international has been playing well of late as he looks to have adjusted to life at Manchester City.

Erling Haaland: An automatic selection for tonight’s game. If he fires he could well decide the game.
