He is replaced in the lineup by Omar Marmoush, who leads the line for City.
Jeremy Doku is amongst the substitutes after returning to training this week from a calf injury that has had him out since the Champions League win over Galatasaray.
Phil Foden was pushing for a start, but is again on the bench here.
The back four remains the same, while Nico O’Reilly partners Bernardo Silva in midfield with Rodri behind.
Rayan Cherki starts with Antoine Semenyo to complete the front three.
Mateo Kovacic and Josko Gvardiol remain sidelined with long-term injuries, but Max Alleyne is back training with the main group after missing the Newcastle win with a knock sustained in the FA Cup fourth round win over Salford.
The youngster, though, has not earned a place in the matchday squad with Ruben Dias, John Stones, Abdukodir Khusanov and Nathan Ake all fit.
