Manuel Akanji has been a rock for Manchester City since joining from Borussia Dortmund last season.
Manchester City 's centre-back ranks had been depleted last week with the injury afforded to Manuel Akanji - but he could well be in the running to return to action against Chelsea this weekend.
But an injury before the clash against Young Boys in midweek has given Pep Guardiola a selection headache - and now he faces a race for fitness ahead of the trip to the capital. MEN Sport takes a look at whether the Swiss international will feature against the Blues in London. Speaking in his pre-match press conference ahead of the clash with Chelsea, City boss Guardiola said: "Good. Trained today and trained good."
With John Stones also out of action, it may be best to invest in Josko Gvardiol or Nathan Ake at similar prices with the duo likely to start alongside the £5.5m priced Ruben Dias.
