Sergio Aguero is expected to return to Manchester City’s starting line-up for the Champions League Group C clash with Barcelona at the Nou Camp on Wednesday.

The striker came off the bench in Saturday’s 1-1 Premier League draw with Everton, as did captain Vincent Kompany, whose chances of coming into the first XI this time around appear less clear.

Fabian Delph (unspecified) and Bacary Sagna (hamstring) remain sidelined, while Yaya Toure, who City boss Pep Guardiola has said he will not pick unless he receives an apology from the player’s agent Dimitri Seluk for comments made in the media, cannot be selected on Wednesday anyway as he was not included in the Blues squad for the group stage of this competition.

Provisional squad: Bravo, Caballero, Stones, Kompany, Otamendi, Zabaleta, Clichy, Kolarov, Fernandinho, Fernando, Gundogan, Silva, De Bruyne, Sterling, Sane, Navas, Nolito, Aguero, Iheanacho.
