The England left-back has missed the last two games with a back problem.

Nico O’Reilly is set to return to the Manchester City side for Sunday’s derby at Manchester United.

The England left-back has missed the last two games after pulling up with a back problem in the warm-up prior to last weekend’s Premier League victory over Coventry.

Winger Jeremy Doku remains on the sidelines with the calf problem he sustained in the Community Shield but City have no other fitness concerns for the trip to Old Trafford.

Manager Enzo Maresca said: “Nico is 100 per cent available but Jeremy, I think he needs some more days.”
