“I’ve had it before and it feels a little bit less to be honest, but you never know with these things, so we will do the ultrasounds and stuff tomorrow and then hopefully it’s not too bad,” said Ake in an interview with Sky Sports.

If Ake is unavailable for the upcoming matches, Aymeric Laporte or teenage full-back Rico Lewis could start at left-back.

City manager Pep Guardiola has expressed concerns about the fitness of his players amid their hectic fixture schedule across three different competitions..

The team will be hoping to continue their success in the upcoming matches and secure their place in the finals of the FA Cup and the Champions League.
