Jesus remains sidelined with the minor muscle issue he picked up during the international break, whilst Palmer has not featured since our 4-1 win against Swindon Town last month, but the rest of Pep Guardiola’s squad are fit and available for selection.
“Cole and Gabriel are out,” Guardiola confirmed at his pre-match press conference.
“The rest are fit.”
It remains to be seen when Palmer will be ready to return, with Guardiola revealing before Fulham that the youngster had not trained since his impressive display against Swindon.
However, there is better news as far as Jesus is concerned, who is close to full fitness and expected to be available again sooner rather than later.
“Soon he will be ready,” Guardiola added.
“I spoke with him this morning and he feels good but he is not perfect. [He has] a few muscular niggles.”
