Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini provided the latest injury update following the Capital One Cup quarter-final win over Hull City on Tuesday.

The Chilean manager will be without some of his key stars for the weekend's trip to Stoke City but indicated that the injury list was beginning to shorten.

He said: "(Pablo) Zabaleta and (Vincent) Kompany are out, Joe Hart can be fit, I am not sure for Saturday but if not for Tuesday.

"Kun (Sergio Aguero) has a pain in his heel. He is improving and we will see tomorrow or Thursday if he can play on Saturday.

"Fernando has a small problem but I think can play on Saturday. Jesus (Navas) has a problem in his ankle."
