Man City XI vs Atletico Madrid: Confirmed team news, predicted lineup and injury latest for Champions League

Manchester City will be boosted by the returns of Ruben Dias and Kyle Walker for tonight’s Champions League showdown with Atletico Madrid.

Walker is finally back from suspension, having served a three-match European ban in the aftermath of his red card against RB Leipzig in the group stage that left manager Pep Guardiola furious.

Defensive colleague Dias, meanwhile, has been out injured for six weeks and while Guardiola confirmed the Portuguese would not start at the Wanda Metropolitano this evening, he did confirm that he has at least travelled with his team-mates.
