John Stones remained injured for Manchester City after missing training on Monday and then he was not in the 21-man squad that travelled to Denmark.
City take on FC Copenhagen on Tuesday in the Champions League knowing three points will see them qualify for the last 16 with two games to spare, and leave them one win from winning the group.
Stones has not featured since limping off playing for England at the end of last month holding his hamstring. Pep Guardiola initially said he could be back in ten days to a fortnight from his press conference ahead of the derby win over Manchester United which would have given him a return this week, but he remains absent.
