Manchester City are without midfielder Fernandinho for tomorrow's FA Cup third-round trip to West Ham as the Brazilian begins a four-match suspension.
The 31-year-old's appeal against the ban was unsuccessful after he received a third red card this season for a two-footed challenge in his side's 2-1 victory over Burnley on Monday.
His absence leaves City short on midfielders with Ilkay Gundogan (knee) out long term and Fernando having also picked up a knock, although Fabian Delph could return.
Leroy Sane remains on the sidelines with an unspecified muscle injury while captain Vincent Kompany (knee) is back in training but not yet ready to play.
Provisional Manchester City squad: Bravo, Caballero, Zabaleta, Sagna, Otamendi, Stones, Adarabioyo, Kolarov, Clichy, Toure, Delph, Garcia, De Bruyne, Sterling, Navas, Silva, Nolito, Aguero, Iheanacho.
