Omar Marmoush

The forward sustained a knee injury whilst playing for Egypt in a World Cup qualifier against Burkina Faso last month.

It was originally hoped that Marmoush would make his comeback before the October international break.


However, speaking at the end of September, Guardiola revealed that the 26-year-old may only be available again following the next round of international fixtures.

Rayan Ait-Nouri


The left-back has been sidelined with an ankle problem since the back end of August.

Ait-Nouri originally picked up the injury during the 2-0 defeat to Tottenham, although he was given the all-clear to play in the subsequent game against Brighton.

Following the loss at the Amex Stadium, it was reported that the Algerian would be out of contention for up to five weeks.
