Manchester City could be handed a double injury boost as they prepare to face Crystal Palace on Wednesday evening.
Manager Pep Guardiola was without star midfielder Rodri and defender Abdukodir Khusanov for the 3-0 win over Brentford at the weekend.
However, both could be declared fit in time for their crucial midweek clash with the Eagles at The Etihad.
Rodri has now missed the last four Manchester City matches with a groin injury
Rodri returned to training before Saturday's fixture, having missed the previous four matches in all competitions, but was still not fit enough to take to the pitch.
He will be assessed once again before Wednesday night, but Man City are hopeful he can play an important role in their title challenge, with just three games remaining this season.
Man City are also hopeful of seeing Khusanov before the end of the season as well, after the centre back also missed the game against Brentford.
The Uzbekistan international picked a knock during the 3-3 draw with Everton and is still a doubt for Wednesday evening.
However, his injury is not believed to be a serious one, and he is not expected to be sidelined for long.
Further boosts for Guardiola could come in the form of returns for Ruben Dias, who has been missing from action since the Champions League fixture with Real Madrid on March 17, and Josko Gvardiol, who hasn't featured since January.
Prior to the Brentford match, Guardiola suggested both could make appearances before the end of the season.
The Man City boss said: “We are happy [Gvardiol's] back. Hopefully he can help us in the last part of the season and have a good World Cup with Croatia and next season we can have him again at his best.
"It's really good to have him back like Ruben as well.”
