Schalke (a) Pre Match Thread

I'm not sure we can risk playing Fernandinho tomorrow and Sunday, one of the other.

John Stones has a groin problem and Gabriel Jesus a hamstring strain, Pep Guardiola confirms at his pre-Schalke presser. Neither are serious injuries.

Usually a few weeks out though, particularly the latter.

A bit wary of these games when everybody expects us to win with ease. Just heard a numpty on five live say "we all expect City to thump Schalke", so if we don't it will give him immense satisfaction. Any win is fine with me.

Nah he'll be fine, Pep has said he's the sort of player who benefits from playing every game.

 

[Thomas Hearns]

Bad news about Jesus, he's bang full of confidence at the moment. Increases the burden on Sergio too which is worrying with two games a week to play.

Yep, had worse days. This was it in it’s infancy - got better as it spread later on:
