Manuel Akanji failed to finish the game against Nottingham Forest last week. The defender was substituted at half-time during the 3-0 victory.
Manager Pep Guardiola says he does not believe it is a serious injury but Akanji has yet to return to training, unlike Kovacic and Foden.
Expected Return Date – Sunday 15th December v Manchester United
Nathan Ake also suffered an injury versus Forest, picking up another hamstring problem just before the end of the match.
No timeframe has been given for the Dutchman’s return but it is unlikely he will be available for games over the Christmas period.
