Overview
- Pep Guardiola said Rodri is "much, much better" and that a decision on his availability will be made today.
- The midfielder has been out since November 2 at Bournemouth and has started only four Premier League games this season.
- If included, he is expected to be eased in with a place on the bench rather than start at the City Ground.
- Jeremy Doku and John Stones remain unavailable, and the squad trained on Christmas evening in preparation for Forest.
- A win at Nottingham Forest would give Manchester City a chance to return to the top of the Premier League, two points behind Arsenal at the start of the day.
