Manchester City will be sweating over four stars after their 3-2 win over Ipswich at the weekend.
Enzo Maresca’s side continued their perfect start to the Italian’s tenure at the Etihad Stadium, as they retained their place at the top of the Premier League.
However, they were left worried over a number of key names following their battling victory against the Tractor Boys.
Here is all the latest Man City injury news...
Erling Haaland
Perhaps the most pressing concern, the Norwegian was spotted limping at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.
That was after he had struck twice and been denied a hat-trick by VAR, but the striker looked in discomfort at the full-time whistle.

Maresca was quick to downplay fans’ worries, telling reporters: “Erling said he was also OK” after the match.
It remains to be seen whether he will be rested for the Champions League clash with AEK Athens in midweek.

Antoine Semenyo
Ghana international Semenyo was also seen in pain following the win over Ipswich.
He had already pulled out of his country’s international camp over the recent window as a result of swelling on his leg, but he returned to face Liverpool, Paris Saint-Germain and Ipswich, where he was introduced as a second-half substitute to replace Jeremy Doku.
There is more of a serious concern about the winger, especially considering his recent issue, and Maresca clarified that.
'The only one we need to wait on was Antoine, and we will see,” the Italian said.

Mateo Kovacic
Former Chelsea midfielder started alongside Ayyoub Bouaddi in the double pivot of City’s 4-2-3-1, with Elliot Anderson and Enzo Fernandez benched for the visit of the Suffolk side.
The Croat took a whack during the match and was replaced on 50 minutes by the British record signing, Fernandez.

However, his injury doesn’t look to be serious.
“Mateo said he was OK,” Maresca said plainly.

Nico O’Reilly
Versatile left-back O’Reilly was sacrificed on the hour at the weekend, with Josko Gvardiol replacing him.
It was revealed by Maresca that the England international had suffered a flare-up of the back problem that forced him to previously pull out of the game against Coventry during the warm-up.
“Nico, it’s still his back,” the City boss said.
“If you remember, against Coventry in the warm-up, it’s the same problem.'
