Jack Grealish

The English international has been just another name added to Pep’s ongoing injury list the past few weeks, but good news is officially here as Grealish has made his way to the bench, meaning he seems ready to come back for at least a few minutes.

Alongside Grealish are; Ortega Moreno, Carson, Phillips, Ake, Gomez, Bobb, and Lewis.

Nathan Ake and Sergio Gomez are both chosen on the bench after making European appearances earlier this week against Red Star Belgrade.

As Pep also told, Bernardo Silva is unavailable for this game due to an injury sustained during the 3-1 win a few days ago. Mateo Kovacic, Kevin De Bruyne, and John Stones also remain sidelined.

Manchester City vs Nottingham Forest will kick off at 15:00 (UK).
