Manchester City team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Manchester City

sportsmole.co.uk, 4 August 2022, 14:49
Manchester City will kick off their Premier League title defence with a trip to London Stadium to take on West Ham United on Sunday afternoon.

The Citizens managed to secure the title in spectacular fashion on the final weekend of last season, coming from two goals behind against Aston Villa to win 3-2.

Pep Guardiola's side will enter this match off the back of a disappointing result, though, having suffered a 3-1 defeat to rivals Liverpool in the Community Shield last weekend.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the team's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest with West Ham, who will again be looking to push for the top four this term.

Aymeric Laporte

Status: Out

Type of injury: Knee

Possible return date: Unknown

Spain international Aymeric Laporte is not expected to be available for selection until the end of September, having recently undergone surgery on a knee injury.

MAN CITY'S SUSPENSION LIST

Benjamin Mendy remains suspended by the club until further notice.
