Man City training squad for Champions League fixture vs Atletico Madrid

Pep Guardiola enjoyed a full squad in training ahead of Manchester City's quarter-final match with Atletico Madrid.

Ruben Dias continued his progress, having returned to working with the group on Monday after nearly six weeks out with a hamstring injury. Cole Palmer was also back on the pitch as he looks to put a frustrating four months of issues behind him.

Whether the pair will be involved for the Champions League match on Wednesday remains doubtful given their lengthy time away from the team, but the manager will be happy to see them both back where he wants them to be as City push on for three trophies. They take a 1-0 lead to Spain as they look to hold Atletico off and qualify for the last four and a match with either Chelsea or Real Madrid.

As well as two returning faces, there were no fresh absences to concern Guardiola, with every senior player involved in the session on Tuesday. There were also a number of youngsters who will be hoping to make the 23-man matchday squad, including youngsters including Liam Delap, James McAtee and Sam Edozie.

City's manager is expected to give an update on the state of his squad when he speaks to the media at 1pm before they fly to Madrid aiming to complete their Champions League job on Atletico. Gabriel Jesus is unavailable due to suspension after earning his third yellow card of the competition in the first leg.

City training squad: Ederson, Steffen, Carson, Cancelo, Walker, Mbete, Ake, Dias, Stones, Laporte, Zinchenko Fernandinho, Rodri, Lavia, Bernardo, De Bruyne, Gundogan, Edozie, McAtee, Delap, Mahrez, Foden, Kayky, Palmer, Jesus, Sterling, Grealish.
