Manchester City will have a host of absentees when they face Leicester City when the Foxes travel to the Etihad Stadium on Sunday in the Premier League. And Pep Guardiola will be without Sergio Aguero, Gabriel Jesus, Bernardo Silva, Oleksandr Zinchenko and Joao Cancelo, who are all out injured, while Ilkay Gundogan is self-isolating with coronavirus. Nicolas Otamendi is also doubtful and Aymeric Laporte is not fully fit following his positive Covid-19 test. Guardiola is likely to include a number of youth players in his matchday squad.
Pep Guardiola said: “Leicester, for four or five, six years, have always been there. It will be incredibly tough, we know it. Always it’s been difficult and this will be no exception. But we play at home and, even though we have just 13 players for the first team, I see the team really well in terms of happiness and relations between them. The young players help us a lot. We have an exceptional group for Sunday.”
