Pep Guardiola and Manchester City could be back to full fitness as they welcome Newcastle United to the Etihad this weekend. John Stones, Aymeric Laporte and Stefan Ortega are back in the fold after illness and injury problems in recent weeks.
Laporte has missed the last two City games with illness but is back in training, while Stones - who has been out for a month with a hamstring injury picked up in the win at Arsenal - is also back in the fold. Guardiola handed backup goalkeeper Ortega an opportunity to impress in City's FA Cup win in midweek at Bristol City.
The German shot-stopper was replaced at half-time but is also back in contention to make the squad to face Newcastle.
