Pep Guardiola says there is no injury issue with Raheem Sterling after dropping the Manchester City forward at Atletico Madrid in the Champions League quarter-final second leg.
Guardiola made two changes from the City side that drew against Liverpool last time out, with Gabriel Jesus suspended and Sterling dropping to the bench. Ilkay Gundogan returned, with Riyad Mahrez coming into the attack.
It was the same midfield setup that beat Atletico in the first leg, with game-changer Phil Foden starting and Kyle Walker back in defence for an arguably stronger City side from last week. Explaining his selection decisions, Guardiola said there were no fitness considerations when it came to Sterling, but more tactical reasons behind playing Gundogan and Foden.
