While a victory at the Etihad Stadium is essential to reclaim a spot in the top eight and secure direct qualification for the round of 16, City must navigate a severe defensive injury crisis and the absence of midfield anchor Rodri.

Galatasaray arrives in Manchester with a squad featuring two familiar faces for the home crowd. Former City stars Ilkay Gundogan—who captained the club to their 2023 Treble—and Leroy Sane are both expected to start for the Lions.

Match Fact

Team News and Key Players

Manchester City are currently without a significant portion of their senior squad. In defence, Ruben Dias, John Stones, and Josko Gvardiol remain sidelined with injuries. Although the club signed Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace earlier this month, he is ineligible to play in the Champions League until the knockout stages begin.

In midfield, Rodri is serving a one-match suspension following a red card in the previous fixture. This leaves Guardiola likely to rely on youngster Nico O'Reilly or a makeshift pairing of Bernardo Silva and Mateo Kovacic (if passed fit) to shield a backline that may feature recent acquisition Abdukodir Khusanov alongside Nathan Ake.
