Ilkay Gundogan has joined Manchester City's long injury list.

City boss Pep Guardiola hinted the Germany midfielder was nursing a problem following Saturday's goalless draw with Southampton. He was already without John Stones, Aymeric Laporte, Rodri and Oleksandr Zinchenko against the Saints.

City face a tough run of away games with Chelsea on September 25, Paris St Germain three days later and Liverpool at the start of October, but first host Wycombe in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday night.

Guardiola insists his injury list is so bad that he has no choice but to play several of his youngsters when the club begin the defence of their trophy against the League One side, even though it clashes with the club's Under 21s' EFL trophy match against Doncaster.
