Marc Mayo25 October 2023

Manchester City have handed Jack Grealish a return to their starting line-up for the Champions League match against Young Boys tonight.

Pep Guardiola has taken Kyle Walker, John Stones, Josko Gvardiol and Phil Foden out of his XI ahead of the coming weekend trip to Manchester United .

City have an almost fully-fit squad to pick from once again with Kevin De Bruyne the only confirmed injury absentee.

Manuel Akanji is eligible to play and starts despite being sent off against Brighton, as his one-game ban applies only to the Premier League and the upcoming Manchester derby.

Mateo Kovacic and Rico Lewis both come into the side while Ederson returns in goal having been benched last time out due to tiredness after the international break.

Man City XI: Ederson; Lewis, Akanji, Dias, Ake; Rodri, Kovacic, Nunes; Grealish, Haaland, Doku

Subs: Ortega Moreno, Carson, Walker, Phillips, Stones, Alvarez, Bernardo, Gomez, Gvardiol, Foden, Bobb, Hamilton

Injuries: De Bruyne

Date and time: 8pm BST, Wednesday October 25, 2023

Venue: Stadion Wankdorf
