Overview
- City face Bodø/Glimt on Tuesday, Jan. 20 at 17:45 (UK) at Aspmyra Stadion, with TV coverage on TNT Sports and Amazon Prime Video in the UK.
- Roughly ten first‑teamers are unavailable through injury, suspension or ineligibility, including John Stones, Rúben Dias, Joško Gvardiol, Mateo Kovacic, Savinho and Oscar Bobb, with Bernardo Silva suspended and January signing Antoine Semenyo not registered for Europe.
- Omar Marmoush has rejoined after AFCON and is listed in the travelling group, though Guardiola indicated he is unlikely to play given the short turnaround.
- Matheus Nunes did not travel as he recovers from flu, Phil Foden is included, and City bolster numbers with academy players such as Max Alleyne, Divine Mukasa and Charlie Gray eligible via UEFA’s List B.
- City flew earlier than usual to train on Bodø/Glimt’s artificial pitch in sub‑zero conditions, with a victory set to strengthen their bid for an automatic top‑eight finish as the hosts arrive fresher from a domestic winter break.
