Gabriel Jesus, Kevin De Bruyne, Liam Delap - Man City injury latest and return dates

Manchester City this week turn attentions to the Champions League where they face managerless RB Leipzig, who sacked Jesse Marsch following Friday's defeat to Union Berlin.

City's win over Paris Saint-Germain saw them confirm top spot in Group A, meaning their trip to Germany is a dead-rubber clash.

Back on home soil, the win over Watford saw City move top of the Premier League for the first time this season as a brace from Bernardo Silva and Raheem Sterling's opener saw the champions run out 3-1 winners.

However, it did come at a price with Gabriel Jesus being ruled out of the trip to East Germany after a tough tackle from Craig Cathcart.

Pep Guardiola told reporters on Monday: "Gabriel won't travel to Germany for the orange card (challenge) he got in the last game."

Kevin De Bruyne , who made his return to the fold on Saturday, will start from the off against Leipzig, the manager also confirmed.

Notable absentees include Ferran Torres as the Spaniard continues his rehabilitation from the ankle injury he suffered while on international duty earlier in the campaign. The former Valencia man looks set to return in the new year.

Liam Delap is also being assessed for an ankle injury and will miss the trip with five youngsters in first-team training.

Cole Palmer , who bagged his first Champions League goal against Club Brugge, and James McAtee could start for the Blues.
