Stones, Rodri, Foden - Man City injury news and return dates ahead of pivotal Real Madrid clash

Manchester City are heading into their Champions League quarter-final second leg against Real Madrid in a buoyant mood after what many would describe as the perfect weekend.

Pep Guardiola will be keen not to get ahead of himself and will be focusing solely on Europe this week as Los Blancos head to the North West.

Ahead of the game, City appear to be in brilliant shape both on and off the pitch. MEN Sport has taken a closer look at the injury list at the Etihad Stadium.
