Which Man City players are available after Pep Guardiola's major injury crisis update?

Pep Guardiola issued an alarming injury update after Manchester City’s Carabao Cup exit at Tottenham on Wednesday night.

City lost 2-1 at Spurs after early goals from Timo Werner and Pape Matar Sarr despite a response from Mathues Nunes before half-time.

The hosts ultimately held on and while Guardiola was pleased with his team’s performance, the night could be costly even aside from the result.

Savinho added to City’s injury worries after he was stretchered off, while Josko Gvardiol appeared to need treatment after the full-time whistle.

Guardiola claimed he had only “13 players” available after the game, declaring his side are “in trouble”. The Premier League champions are already without the likes of Kevin De Bruyne, Jack Grealish and Rodri, while Kyle Walker and Jeremy Doku are among the other absentees.

With that in mind, here’s a look at the Man City players who are available ahead of their League clash with Bournemouth on Saturday.
