Rayan Ait-Nouri


The Algerian international is back in contention for first-team games, having spent nearly two months on the sidelines.

Ait-Nouri’s last appearance for City was the 2-1 defeat to Brighton at the end of August.

The fullback was carrying an ankle injury despite playing the full 90 minutes at the Amex. He was then ruled out for the next eight games.


Ait-Nouri will, though, return to the matchday squad for City’s next fixture.

Expected Return Date – Tuesday, 21st October vs Villarreal (a)
