Manchester City Training Session

Fernandinho, City's captain, had been sidelined with a bout of gastroenteritis and left-back Mendy has shaken off a knock. Neither will be fit enough to face the Greek side on Wednesday as City look to secure their last-16 spot.
However, centre-back Nathan Ake's thigh injury means the summer signing remains unavailable. Ake is now Pep Guardiola’s sole major absentee.
Sergio Aguero, fit after a hamstring injury, will be hoping to get on the pitch having made the matchday squad in Saturday's loss at Tottenham but being an unused substitute.
Predicted Manchester City XI (4-3-3): Ederson; Walker, Dias, Laporte, Cancelo; De Bruyne, Rodri, Gundogan; Sterling, Aguero, Foden
Provisional squad: Ederson, Steffen, Walker, Stones, Dias, Laporte, Garcia, Zinchenko, Cancelo, Gundogan, Rodri, Fernandinho, De Bruyne, Silva, Sterling, Mahrez, Foden, Torres, Jesus, Aguero.
