Three key Manchester City players will be missing when the champions take on West Ham on at the London stadium on Saturday.

City boss, Pep Guardiola, confirmed the absence of the players on Friday during his pre-match press conference.

He said Guardiola said Jack Grealish, John Stones and Mateo Kovacic are unavailable for the Premier League clash.

“They are both injured for tomorrow. I don’t know for Red Star Belgrade [on Tuesday]. Step by step.

“The injury for Jack [Grealish] is muscular but he has an incredible knock for his knee and the damage is there.

“John [Stones] is better but still has issues.

“[Mateo Kovacic] has something also muscular. It’s not a big issue but also he is out for tomorrow,” Guardiola said.
