Manchester City will kick off another quest for Champions League glory on Tuesday as they travel to Sevilla for their opening encounter in Group G.
Pep Guardiola is yet to achieve continental glory with the reigning Premier League champions, who were dramatically dumped out by Real Madrid 6-5 on aggregate in last year's semi-finals.
The Citizens also dropped another two points in the English top flight at the weekend, with Aston Villa managing to glean a point in a 1-1 draw.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up Man City's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the meeting with Los Palanganas.

Kalvin Phillips's shoulder problem did not let up in time for him to take part at Villa Park, but the former Leeds United man could recover in time to travel to Spain.
