Jesus and Laporte ‘not fully fit’ for Man City’s Southampton trip

Gabriel Jesus (£9.2m) and Aymeric Laporte (£6.0m) have been left out of the Manchester City squad to face Southampton in Gameweek 14.

The club released an official statement with their Saturday team-sheet which explained the two players were “not fully fit” for the trip to St Mary’s Stadium.

“Sergio Aguero is amongst the substitutes for Manchester City’s Premier League clash with Southampton, but Gabriel Jesus and Aymeric Laporte are not fully fit and have been left out of the matchday squad.” – Manchester City press release

Sergio Aguero (£10.3m) is still only ready enough for a place on the bench so it looks to be either Raheem Sterling (£11.4m) and Ferran Torres (£6.9m) occupying the centre-forward role from the start this afternoon.

Bernardo Silva (£7.4m) and Kevin De Bruyne (£11.9m) complete the front-four, with Riyad Mahrez (£8.4m) left on the bench for the second successive Premier League match.

John Stones (£4.8m) earns his place back, starting alongside Ruben Dias (£5.6m) at centre-back, with João Cancelo (£5.5m) starting for the fourth match in a row, Kyle Walker (£6.2m) at right-back.

Southampton are in their traditional 4-2-2-2 shape, Danny Ings (£ and Che Adams (£ leading the line with Theo Walcott (£ and Moussa Djenepo (£ providing the width.

Southampton XI: A McCarthy; Bertrand, Bednarek, Vestergaard, Walker-Peters; Djenepo, Romeu, Ward-Prowse, Walcott; Ings, Adams.

Manchester City XI: Ederson; Cancelo, Stones, Dias, Walker; Rodrigo, Gündogan; Torres, De Bruyne, B Silva; Sterling.

        I didn't captain Salah either but I still got a small rise thanks to owning Robertson. It's not all about that captain, the rest of your team needs to be good too.

      It's a dance ,mainly for kids.

      "You put your left leg in, you take your left leg out. In, out, in, out and shake it all about."

      So hokey cokey would be used to describe taking players in and out.

        He literally gets hit in the head by the ball, and it goes in. Do I have to explain how that is luck? And my points stands on that 2nd goal, he tries that a lot, but usually need 5-10 attempts.

      Highly probable the way City are playing so poorly and Southampton so well!

    I guess we all know who will be the captain next week for anyone who owns Salah

      Yet another boring week for captaincy choice then. EO will be well over 100.

          I would have done the same but KDB will prob get benched in that, with Everton 48 hours later.

    Really need KDB to go big today - the top 10k basically don’t own him. Him going big a few weeks in a row and Spurs blanking would really get things going

      Bruno because he’s cheaper and enables you to upgrade elsewhere
