Manchester City have mounting injury problems after Bernardo Silva was forced off for the treble-winners during their Champions League victory against Crvena Zvezda on Tuesday night.
Pep Guardiola and his star-studded side came from behind to win that Group G opener with Julian Alvarez (2) and Rodri on target. But it was not all positive news for City at the Etihad Stadium.
Portuguese sensation Bernardo had to be withdrawn shortly before half-time and is now expected to be missing for several games. He joins Jack Grealish, Mateo Kovacic, John Stones and long-term absentee Kevin De Bruyne on the treatment table with matches coming thick and fast.

City welcome Nottingham Forest to the Etihad on Saturday afternoon (3pm) and also take on Wolves in the Premier League before this month is out. Between those two games, the champions play Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup third round as we round-up their injury concerns with potential return dates;
Injury: Unspecified
Return date: TBC
What Guardiola has said: "He [Silva] didn't say anything at the end. I didn't speak to the doctors but, apparently, for the next games he won't be able to play. We have five really important players injured and to sustain that for a long time would be difficult."
Injury: Muscular
Possible return date: September 30 vs Wolves
What Guardiola has said: "The injury for Jack is muscular, but [also] has an incredible knock for his knee and the damage is there. Jack maybe in a week or 10 days [after Crvena Zvezda], he needs his condition."
