John Stones
Another City man to be struck down while on England duty, Guardiola has confirmed that Stones will miss out on the Arsenal showdown. The Sky Blues will miss his versatility, but previously injured goalkeeper Ederson is in line to return.
Dominic Solanke
There were some lingering doubts about the Bournemouth striker due to a niggling knee injury. However, manager Andoni Iraola claims he has been training ‘perfectly’ and the international break came at an ideal time.
Gabriel Martinelli
The Arsenal winger has not featured in any match since March 4. Arteta admitted on Friday that, like Saka and Gabriel, Martinelli has not yet returned to training, but again like his two team-mates, making the squad remains ‘possible’.
