Pep Guardiola issues Man City injury update on Kevin De Bruyne and Nathan Ake

Nathan Ake could return to the Manchester City squad to face West Ham on Wednesday, but the Blues are still sweating over the fitness of Kevin De Bruyne. Ake trained with the rest of the squad on Monday and is set for another session on Tuesday afternoon, but while De Bruyne is moving more freely he hasn't yet returned to training.

City train at 4pm on Tuesday for the final time before facing West Ham and De Bruyne will need to come through that session to stand a chance of being involved.

The Belgian was absent from the City squad for the win at Fulham on Sunday having felt some discomfort during the midweek success against Arsenal.

Ake hasn't played since picking up a hamstring injury in the Champions League quarter-final against Bayern Munich, but his return to training this week puts him in the frame for being back in action against the Hammers.

"Nathan trained with us yesterday and feels good. Kevin started to move but hasn't trained with the team," said Guardiola.

Asked if De Bruyne could be involved on Wednesday, Guardiola said: "We have training again at 4pm and we will see."
