Man City injury list and expected return dates

Manchester City have almost a clean bill of health ahead of facing Fulham on Saturday.

With Nathan Ake recovering from a hamstring injury to feature on the bench for City against Porto in midweek, the only injury doubt ahead of the Cottagers is Sergio Aguero.

City's near-clean bill of health is in sharp contrast to some of their Premier League rivals, who have been struck down with multiple injuries during a hectic season.

Yet City have seen a number of players return to fitness in recent weeks, giving Pep Guardiola plenty to think about when it comes to his starting XI.

With that in mind, here are the latest return dates in City's medical room.

Sergio Aguero

The striker missed City's win over Burnley at the weekend and subsequent draw with Porto after a setback in the recovery from his knee injury.

Pep Guardiola is unwilling to take any risks on the player's fitness, which means it is difficult to say exactly when he will return.

Yet the fact it is a day-by-day situation and not a major injury means he could be in contention to feature against Fulham.

What Guardiola said: "With Sergio it depends on how he wakes up. He made good training sessions but then had some niggles in his knee. It is day-by-day. We know that the injury that he had is not easy for the recovery and we have to handle it as well as possible and when he will be ready he will start to train with us and play."

Expected return date: December 5
