Manchester City injury list with the Blues in the midst of a hectic schedule and several players sidelined.

Manchester City return to Premier League action this weekend when they travel to West Ham United.

The Blues were beaten 3-0 by Real Madrid in the first leg of their last-16 Champions League tie in midweek and must now refocus to ensure they keep pace with Arsenal at the top of the table.

City have the majority of their squad available, and Pep Guardiola confirmed on Friday that Erling Haaland was fit to feature. The striker sat out the win over Newcastle United in the FA Cup last weekend but played in Madrid. Here's the injury latest from the Etihad.

Mateo Kovacic

Injury: Ankle

It has been a frustrating season for Kovacic after suffering an ankle injury in October. Guardiola confirmed the midfielder would be back for the latter stages of the campaign and he has now returned to training.

Potential return date: March/April

Rico Lewis

Injury: Ankle

Lewis has been absent in recent weeks with an ankle problem and is not yet fit enough to return to the squad. "Rico still has a little bit of swelling in the ankle," said Guardiola ahead of the trip to West Ham.

Potential return date: March

Josko Gvardiol

Injury: Leg

Gvardiol is a long-term absentee for City having fractured his leg in the January draw with Chelsea. The defender is in a race against the clock to be back before the end of the season and this summer's World Cup.

Potential return date: May/June

Max Alleyne

Injury: Knock

Alleyne has not been in the squad since the victory over Salford in the FA Cup. He picked up a knock in that game but did feature in first-team training on Tuesday before the trip to Real Madrid.

Potential return date: March
