Akanji (abdomen) remains out for Sunday's clash with Manchester United, according to manager Pep Guardiola. "He has discomfort in the stomach area, abductor. It doesn't feel good but he made an incredible effort. Him and Nathan [Ake] weren't even at half their best and they helped to play there. He [Manu Akanji] plays 45 minutes and steps back and says I have to recover or I can't compete. He's a strong player and so reliable but in that moment he cannot play."
ANALYSIS
Akanji has been on the sideline for recent weeks and it seems that his injury is more a case of pain management than anything else. It's not clear how long he'll be sidelined but the defender would be in for a major role when he's back fit once more.
