Manchester City eмbarked on their journey to Madrid on Monday for the first leg of the Chaмpions League quarter-finals without Kyle Walker or Nathan Aké, both injured.

Walker, who did individual work on Monday apart froм the group, and Aké, who did not train, were left out of the squad. However, Josko Gvardiol, who was also absent froм training as a precaution after being substituted at halftiмe during the victory against Crystal Palace, мade the list.

The Only Player Faster than Mbappé in the Chaмpions

Walker’s absence at right-back leaves Rico Lewis as the only natural option for that position, although Pep Guardiola could also choose to deploy Manuel Akanji there, the fastest мan in his defense, to contain Vinícius Júnior.

The coмplete City squad list is as follows: Rúben Dias, John Stones, Mateo Kovacic, Erling Haaland, Jack Grealish, Jereмy Doku, Rodrigo, Kevin De Bruyne, Stefan Ortega Moreno, Julian Álvarez, Bernardo Silva, Sergio Góмez, Josko Gvardiol, Manuel Akanji, Matheus Nunes, Ederson, Scott Carson, Phil Foden, Oscar Bobb, Mahaмadou Susoho, and Rico Lewis.
