Man City defender Stones forced out of Copenhagen clash

Manchester City are without defender John Stones for their Champions League trip to Copenhagen on Tuesday.

City beat Copenhagen 5-0 earlier this month, are top of Group G and will qualify for the last 16 with a win in Denmark.

Stones sustained a hamstring injury on England duty last month and the centre-half has not yet returned to training.

Right-back Kyle Walker (abdominal) and midfielder Kalvin Phillips (shoulder) also remain on the sidelines.

City, Champions League runners-up two seasons ago, have won all three of their matches in this season's competition, scoring 11 times and only conceding once.
