Speaking to Sky Sports, the City boss said, "We are still waiting for the decision of the doctors, exactly what he has. When we know it, the club or myself, the spokesman of the club will announce it."

After their midweek Carabao Cup encounter, the reigning champions will be back in the Premier League on Saturday as they take on Newcastle United away from home.
