Man City provide injury update on four players ahead of Crystal Palace trip as 22 Blues train

Manchester City's defensive options for the Premier League trip to Crystal Palace have been strengthened as Joao Cancelo and Nathan Ake returned to training.

Cancelo missed the Champions League draw with Sporting in the week due to illness, with under-23 captain CJ Egan-Riley playing at right-back instead. Ake has been missing for two games with a minor injury picked up in the FA Cup at Peterborough.

With Ruben Dias a more longer-term absentee, City's options at the back were extremely limited, but the return of Cancelo and Ake to training on Saturday will come as a big boost to Pep Guardiola.
