Available for selection Akanji (knee) has returned to training and appears to be an option for Wednesday's match against Burnley, according to manager Pep Guardiola. "The most important news is almost all... Impact Akanji seems to be in line for a return Wednesday, having missed the club's previous match against Newcastle due to a knee issue. This is a decent development for City, as with John Stones also returning this week, the club now only has one injury within the team as they wait on their star man Erling Haaland to return. There is a decent chance we could see Akanji return to the starting XI immediately, with the defender starting in all but three Premier League matches he has been available for this season. However, if not, expect Ruben Dias and Nathan Ake to get the start in the center of the defense, with Akanji most likely earning time off the bench at some point in the contest.
