Haaland and De Bruyne - Man City injury news and return dates ahead of Young Boys Champions League clash

Manchester City return to Champions League action on Tuesday night when they host Young Boys at the Etihad Stadium. Unsurprisingly the Blues have adapted to the elite European competition comfortably and have won all of their three opening matches this season. Last time out, City dug deep to beat their Swiss opposition.

After Manu Akanji had given the Blues the lead shortly after the interval, Meschak Elia equalised to put pressure on the visitors. But, a brace from Erling Haaland was enough to seal the three points as they returned back to Manchester top of Group G.
