Manchester City have almost a clean bill of health heading into Saturday's FA Cup final against Manchester United.
Pep Guardiola’s side are looking to defend yet another of their crowns, having last week won an unprecedented fourth consecutive Premier League title.
City conquered their rivals in the final last year too, winning 2-1 at Wembley and are strong favourites to do so again.
Following up last year’s treble with a double would be another indication of the relentless pursuit of excellence that has so far defined the Guardiola era.
The League champions are understood to have almost their full squad available at this stage, albeit goalkeeper Ederson will miss out after a facial injury sustained against Tottenham earlier this month.
Stefan Ortega will deputise, having impressed in the Spurs game.
Nathan Ake and Jack Grealish are fit too, meaning Guardiola has almost a full squad available for the trip to Wembley.
Injuries: Ederson
Time and date: 3pm BST on Saturday 25 May, 2024
Venue: Wembley
