Manchester City's defence will be strengthened by the return of John Stones, manager Pep Guardiola said, as they get ready to resume their Champions League campaign at Paris St Germain on Wednesday.

All season long Manchester City’s defence has been plagued by injuries. Nathan Ake, Manuel Akanji, Ruben Dias, John Stones and Kyle Walker have all struggled with injury issues this season. Coming out of last night’s 4-2 defeat to PSG it now appears that Manchester City’s defence has been hit with a fresh injury concern.

Manchester City's defence will be strengthened by the return of John Stones, manager Pep Guardiola said, as they get ready to resume their Champions League campaign at Paris St Germain on Wednesday.

Pep Guardiola says John Stones’ return to fitness is a huge boost for the team. With Ruben Dias also returning to action last weekend, the boss says he is delighted to have two crucial players available again with so many huge games coming up.
