Manchester City return to Premier League action this weekend when they take on Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Pep Guardiola will be hoping his players all return without picking up any injuries during the international break, although Jack Grealish has already sustained a minor knock while away with England.
City face a run of seven games in just 21 days when club football returns again next week, meaning Guardiola cannot afford any more injuries to a squad that is light on options. The City boss didn’t name a full bench in last week’s 3-2 win over Fulham, while he also included two goalkeepers in the matchday squad.
City face a relatively kind run in between the October and November international breaks, with Premier League games against Wolves, Southampton, Bournemouth and Brighton & Hove Albion, in addition to Champions League matches against Sparta Prague and Sporting Lisbon .
A trip to Tottenham Hotspur in the Carabao Cup completes the jam-packed schedule, although Guardiola has already said he is likely to select a younger squad in the competition.
The autumn months often see City’s results dip - as has been the case in each of the last five seasons - but if the champions can emerge without any major hiccups over the next seven games, they’ll look in a healthy position in the fourth month of the campaign.
That could depend on the squad’s availability in that period and, ahead of the trip to Wolves next Sunday, here’s a full rundown of the injury list and when everyone’s expected to return…
5. Jack Grealish - Expected return date: 20 October
Missed England's loss to Greece on Thursday with a knock, but it's not expected to be serious and he should be available to face Wolves.
