Manchester City team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Dinamo Zagreb

Sports Mole rounds up Manchester City's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Tuesday's Champions League fixture with Dinamo Zagreb.

Manchester City head into their Champions League fixture with Dinamo Zagreb looking to record their second successive victory in Group C.

Despite concerns over their defence, City eased to a 3-0 victory against Shakhtar Donetsk in Ukraine on Matchday One, although they find themselves in second spot to Tuesday's opponents, who thrashed Atalanta BC by a 4-0 scoreline.

However, Pep Guardiola will be aware that a fifth win in a row in all competitions will give the Premier League champions a clear advantage heading into their remaining games.

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