Manchester City will be aiming to maintain their unbeaten Champions League record when they travel to Germany to face Borussia Dortmund tomorrow night.
[Manuel Akanji](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/manuel-akanji/profil/spieler/284730) has been virtually ever-present since his arrival from tomorrow's opponents, so it would be no shock to see the Swiss defender dropped either. As a result, it would seem doubtful that any of the three would be involved tomorrow night. [Kyle Walker](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/kyle-walker/profil/spieler/95424) and [Kalvin Phillips](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/kalvin-phillips/profil/spieler/351749) will also be missing as the pair continue to recover from surgery. It is possible Phillips may be involved more in the coming weeks as it was revealed the midfielder has begun to complete solo training sessions. [Mats Hummels](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mats-hummels/profil/spieler/39728) and [Nico Schlotterbeck](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/nico-schlotterbeck/profil/spieler/388198) did train but are both doubts for the game due to respective muscle and calf problems. [Salih Özcan](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/salih-ozcan/profil/spieler/244940) will also be missing the game after he picked up his third yellow card in the competition and will therefore be serving a one-game ban. [Ruhr Nachrichten](https://www.ruhrnachrichten.de/bvb/viele-bvb-fragezeichen-vor-dem-spiel-gegen-manchester-city-w1804570-2000660681/), [Donyell Malen](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/donyell-malen/profil/spieler/326029), [Raphael Guerreiro](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/raphael-guerreiro/profil/spieler/170986) and [Marco Reus](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/marco-reus/profil/spieler/35207) were all absent from the club's last training session ahead of the match. [Erling Haaland](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/erling-haaland/profil/spieler/418560) and [Kevin De Bruyne](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/kevin-de-bruyne/profil/spieler/88755) to be placed on the bench with one eye on the weekend's Premier League fixture. [John Stones](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/john-stones/profil/spieler/186590) is likely to be involved as the defender returned to the matchday squad as an unused substitute in City's 3-1 win against Brighton. Given that City have already qualified for the knockouts and are chasing league leaders Arsenal in their domestic competition, it would be understandable for Guardiola to prioritise the league for the time being. [Sergio Gomez](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sergio-gomez/profil/spieler/366930) was sent off for the Sky Blues after just 30 minutes, meaning a win was always unlikely for [ Pep Guardiola's](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/pep-guardiola/profil/trainer/5672) side. Manchester City- One player who is certain to be absent for The Cityzens is Gomez, who will be serving a suspension in the competition following his red card in the club's last game.
