Latest Man City vs Sparta Prague squad information
Man City are struggling with a number of key injuries. They are still without Rodri (ACL) and Oscar Bobb (broken leg) for a long time. Manager Pep Guardiola also confirmed that Kyle Walker (knee) and Kevin De Bruyne (groin) will not return to action until they are fully fit.
Nathan Ake, who has missed seven games with a muscle injury, could be brought in in some capacity against Sparta Prague, although his starting role remains uncertain. In the event that Ake is unable to start, Josko Gvardiol could take over at left-back.
Guardiola is likely to rotate his squad, similar to the one against Slovan Bratislava, with the likes of Stefan Ortega, Manuel Akanji, Matheus Nunes, James McAtee, Jack Grealish and Phil Foden hoping for a chance to feature.
For Sparta Prague, Imanol Garcia (knee injury) will not play, while Elias Cobbaut (illness) has not played this season. Martin Vitik could return from suspension and replace Asger Sorensen in defence, joining Filip Panak and Jaroslav Zeleny.
Up front, Haraslin, Veljko Birmancevic and Victor Olatunji are all leading the team with six goals this season. They will compete for a starting spot, but Albion Rrahmani could be picked as the main striker in place of Olatunji.

Latest Man City vs Sparta Prague football review
Man City are enjoying an impressive 2024-25 campaign, going 12 games unbeaten in all competitions and are currently the only team yet to lose in the Premier League. They beat Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-1 at Molineux last weekend. Despite falling behind to an early goal from Jorgen Strand Larsen, City showed resilience as Josko Gvardiol equalised from 20 yards, before John Stones scored the winner in the 95th minute.
The win saw Man City set a new club record of 31 games unbeaten in the Premier League (25 wins, 6 draws). They are now aiming to set a new Champions League record with their next game against Sparta Prague. If they avoid defeat, they will have gone 26 games unbeaten in European Cup history, surpassing Real Madrid's record of 32 home games unbeaten.
Sparta Prague, who have been absent from the Champions League for almost two decades, have made an impressive start with four points from their first two games. They have qualified for the group stages and won 3-0 at Red Bull Salzburg. However, they have also suffered a few setbacks in the Czech league but bounced back with a 2-1 win over Slovan Liberec over the weekend.
