Man City give injury updates on Erling Haaland, John Stones and Kevin De Bruyne
John Stones will miss Manchester City's clash with Sheffield United on Saturday after injuring his ankle in the 3-1 win at Everton.
Stones was forced off in the first half of the victory at Goodison Park and is now on the treatment table, with Pep Guardiola revealing nothing had changed with the injury situation in his squad. Jeremy Doku is still absent with a muscle problem having not played since December 3 and Erling Haaland is still training on his own as he battles a foot problem.
Kevin De Bruyne has been back in full training for 10 days but the Belgian is yet to make a matchday squad, having not played since the opening day of the season.

Asked about the fitness of his players going into the game with the Blades, Guardiola said: "Nothing changes, same injuries as the last game, plus John Stones."
Another concern for City will be Jack Grealish's mindset, having had his home burgled while he was playing at Goodison Park on Wednesday. Ten of Grealish's family were inside the house at the time of the burglary and had to take cover while jewellery was stolen.
"Nothing happened with the family inside,” said Guardiola. “It is what it is today in the modern day, with many things happening. Yes, it was a bad moment for him and his family – but, fortunately, the family inside was not damaged.”
City will be looking to make it two wins from two league games since their return from the Club World Cup. Guardiola's side currently sit five points off league leaders Liverpool with a game in hand.
