Scott Carson is in line for a call-up by Manchester City for the weekend's clash with Leicester City.

Pep Guardiola's hand has been forced and the champions may have to trust the 36-year-old against Brendan Rodgers' side with Ederson and Zack Steffen unavailable.

Ederson has been banned after Brazil invoked FIFA's international suspension for players who fail to report to their national team.

Steffen, meanwhile, is facing time in isolation after playing for the USA.

So Carson is likely to make only his second start for City having made his first Premier League appearance in a decade last season when the title was already won.
