Confirmed Line-Ups: Manchester City vs Crystal Palace (Premier League)

Pep Guardiola press conference: Rodri and Abdukodir Khusanov fitness updates for Crystal Palace clash

Rodri remained absent for the Blues against Brentford as the 29-year-old nurses a calf injury sustained in the closing minutes of April’s 2-1 win over Arsenal.

Abdukodir Khusanov also missed Saturday’s victory over Brentford as a result of a knock the Uzbek defender suffered in a challenge with Everton’s Beto in Merseyside last week.

Ruben Dias was back in the matchday squad against the Bees after recovering from a hamstring injury sustained in the week leading to City’s Carabao Cup final triumph over Arsenal at Wembley in March.

Josko Gvardiol has also returned to full first-team training after recovering from a tibial fracture the Croatia international suffered in early January, with City boasting a near fully fit squad for the final fortnight of the campaign.
