Sports Mole rounds up all of Manchester City's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their Premier League clash with Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday.

Manchester City will be aiming to win their 16th game in a row across all competitions when they welcome Tottenham Hotspur to the Etihad Stadium for Saturday's Premier League showdown.

Pep Guardiola's merciless charges eased to a 3-1 victory over Swansea City in the FA Cup in midweek - a result which saw them break the English record for consecutive victories by a top-flight team.

Ten of City's victories in that run have come in the Premier League, and a win on Saturday would see them temporarily move eight points clear of Manchester United in the race for glory.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Man City's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest.

Status: Out
Type of injury: Coronavirus

Sergio Aguero has managed to fight off a bout of coronavirus, but Guardiola is urging caution over his return to the first team. The Argentine is feeling better "day by day" according to his manager, but he is still working his way back to fitness.

Type of injury: Illness
Possible return date: February 13 (vs. Tottenham)

Type of injury: Thigh
Possible return date: Unknown

Fernandinho would have expected to earn some minutes in the FA Cup, but the veteran was unable to take part due to some "niggles" in his quads. The Brazilian has been ruled out of this game, but it would have been a surprise to see him start either way.
