Latest Monaco vs Man City squad information
Man City have no further injury concerns after the win over Burnley, but Rodri is still a doubt due to a knee problem. Guardiola is still without Abdukodir Khusanov (ankle), Rayan Ait-Nouri (unclear), Omar Marmoush (knee) and Rayan Cherki (thigh, expected to be fit in November).
Haaland continues to be in the spotlight after scoring twice and adding an assist last weekend. He is about to play his 50th Champions League match and has scored 50 goals in 49 matches – an unprecedented record.
For Monaco, Paul Pogba may not be ready for his dream debut against Man City, needing a few more weeks to regain fitness. Coach Adi Hutter is also without Lamine Camara (ankle), Denis Zakaria (groin), Aleksandr Golovin (hamstring) and number one goalkeeper Lukas Hradecky (knee). Kehrer is suspended for Ligue 1 but could still play in the Champions League.
Ansu Fati – on loan from Barcelona – has impressed with 4 goals in 3 substitute appearances. With this form, the possibility of him being given a starting position at Etihad is very high.

Latest football commentary on Monaco vs Man City
Man City made Kevin De Bruyne's return to Manchester with Napoli a sad memory. Taking advantage of captain Giovanni Di Lorenzo's early red card - an incident that also forced De Bruyne to leave the field - Pep Guardiola's team easily defeated the Serie A champions 2-0.
Although Napoli held on until the end of the first half, Erling Haaland's trademark strike opened the scoring for the Etihad hosts, before Jeremy Doku sealed the score. With consistent form, Man City have now lost just three of their last 21 Champions League group stage games and have scored in 28 of their 30 European games.
The win over Napoli also added to a five-match unbeaten run for the Citizens, which includes four wins, most recently a 5-1 thrashing of Burnley in the Premier League after comfortably overcoming Huddersfield in the League Cup. A disappointing 1-1 draw against Arsenal – where Guardiola’s “bus” was breached in the last minute – was the only blemish. However, their weakness lies in their away form in the Champions League, with a run of four consecutive defeats.
Monaco had a forgettable start. They were thrashed 4-1 by Club Brugge in their opening game. Maghnes Akliouche's missed penalty kick in the 10th minute set off a nightmare: Monaco's defence was torn apart three times in the first half and conceded a fourth goal in the 75th minute. Ansu Fati's late goal was only a consolation.
That defeat extended Monaco's run of five defeats in their last seven Champions League games. They then beat Metz 5-2 in Ligue 1 but fell to a 3-1 defeat at Lorient after Thilo Kehrer was sent off early. With 24 goals scored and conceded in their last five games (an average of nearly five goals per game), a repeat of the thrilling encounter with Man City in 2016-17 (a 6-6 draw over two legs, Monaco progressed on away goals) is entirely possible.
