The Spanish international remains unlikely to play despite returning to training having undergone knee surgery before the start of the season and Kyle Walker is not fit to return after limping off against Aston Villa earlier this month.

Ederson;

Rodri, Gundogan, De Bruyne;
Mahrez, Haaland, Grealish.
