Manchester City return to action at the Etihad Stadium tonight as they host AEK Athens in the Champions League league phase

Manchester City welcome AEK Athens to the Etihad Stadium tonight, hoping to pick up their second victory in this season's Champions League. Last week, the Blues fell to a spirited 4-2 defeat against Paris Saint-Germain but managed to bounce back with a 3-2 win over Ipswich Town in the Premier League.

While that saw the Blues secure their seventh Premier League victory in a row, the win was marred by injury concerns to five players. Erling Haaland, Antoine Semenyo, Matheus Nunes, Nico O'Reilly and Mateo Kovacic, all picked up problems during the win over the Tractor Boys and were left needing assessment ahead of this week's matches.

With this in mind, MEN Sport has taken a look at the latest injury news from City.

Erling Haaland

Injury: Foot

Haaland hobbled off with a foot injury as the match came to an end on Saturday. Speaking in his pre-match press conference, Enzo Maresca said: "[Erling] can be available. We will see. We have a session now. We have some doubts after Saturday's game. He was quite good yesterday, better."

When asked if he may need to be replaced in midweek, Maresca reiterated that Haaland should be fine to feature, if needed. However, he did not feature in the open section of Monday afternoon's training session.

Potential return date: Unknown

Antoine Semenyo

Injury: Leg

Semenyo was seen talking with Maresca at full time on Saturday and the City head coach has confirmed the forward will be out for an extended period. "The only one that will be out for probably eight weeks is Antoine," he said. "In the first moment we expect an even worse injury so we were more worried but after the scan we are less worried. It could be eight weeks.

"Now the most important thing is to recover it. When he is back, around December, we have a new player. It's not muscular."

Potential return date: December

Matheus Nunes

Injury: Groin

During the second half against Ipswich, Nunes appeared to hold his groin and was forced off. On the remaining injured players, Maresca said on Monday: "The rest are, more or less, okay." Nunes was not spotted with his teammates in training.

Potential return date: Unknown

Nico O'Reilly

Injury: Back

O'Reilly appeared to be a bigger concern for Maresca on Saturday as he tweaked the back injury that has caused him problems this season. The full-back did not feature in training at the Etihad Campus.

Potential return date: Unknown

Mateo Kovacic

Injury: Unknown

Kovacic performed well on Saturday but at the start of the second half he went to ground and Maresca took no risks. Instead of going down the tunnel, Kovacic took a seat on the bench. He did not complete training on Monday and which makes him a doubt for AEK Athens.

Potential return date: Unknown
