Man City XI vs RB Leipzig: Confirmed team news, predicted lineup, injury latest for Champions League
Enzo Maresca press conference after Man City knock Brighton out of Carabao Cup

Manchester City have no fresh injury concerns ahead of their Champions League clash against RB Leipzig.

Antoine Semenyo is Man City’s one long-term absentee after suffering a knee injury in the win over Ipswich last month, keeping him out of the last four matches in all competitions as a result.

The Ghana international, along with youngsters Ryan McAidoo and Kaden Braithwaite, was not spotted on Tuesday’s training session before flying out to Germany, but Enzo Maresca still has a near fully-fit squad to choose from.

There is, however, a decision to make in goal as Gianluigi Donnarumma has looked shaky in recent weeks and the City boss has made it clear the Italian is not a guaranteed starter.

“I think it is one thing to say that in this moment it is Gigio plus 10, and another thing to say undroppable,” Maresca said before the loss to Brighton in the Premier League.

“They are two different things. There is no player that is undroppable but in this moment it is Gigio plus 10. In this moment I see it like this.”

Geronimo Rulli staked his claim for a start with an impressive display in the Carabao Cup win over Brighton but may have to settle for a place on the bench again.

Marc Guehi and Nico O’Reilly are pushing for returns after dropping down to the bench at the weekend, while Ayyoub Bouaddi could be rested after starting the last two games.

Phil Foden is highly likely to start as he has been chosen for pre-match press conference duties, though he might be asked to operate from the right-hand side as Rayan Cherki is recalled in the No10 role behind Erling Haaland.

Predicted Man City XI: Donnarumma; Nunes, Khusanov, Guehi, O’Reilly; Anderson, Fernandez; Foden, Cherki, Doku; Haaland

Injured: Semenyo
