Manchester City will be going in search of a second successive Premier League win when they face Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium tomorrow lunchtime.
After being beaten 1-0 by Tottenham Hotspur on the opening day of the campaign, City got their first victory of the season on the board last time out, hammering Norwich City 5-0 at the Etihad Stadium.
The victory over the Canaries featured a first goal in City colours for summer signing Jack Grealish, as well as an eye-catching performance from Brazilian international Gabriel Jesus, meaning Pep Guardiola's side will be brimming with confidence ahead of tomorrow lunchtime's tussle with the Gunners.
But whilst City have every right to enter the contest in buoyant mood, they will still be without a couple of key figures through injury.
With that in mind, here is a round-up of all the very latest City injury news in one place.
The midfield architect was forced to miss the win over Norwich and the meeting with Mikel Arteta's Gunners has come too soon for him.
"He is getting better but still is not fit," Guardiola said.
The injury has also been enough to rule him out of Belgium's upcoming World Cup qualifiers.
Return date: Mid-September.
Phil Foden
Fellow attacking-midfielder Foden will also miss the tussle with Arsenal, with the youngster continuing to nurse a foot problem.
