"Manchester City" center-back Manuel Akanji has picked up an injury in the Champions League play-offs against "Real Madrid".

It is not yet known how long it will take for Akanji to recover from the injury. The injury of another City defender increases the chances of Uzbek international Abdukodir Khusanov making a return to the starting line-up.

The 29-year-old Swiss international was forced off after half-time. He was replaced by Rico Lewis.

Earlier, Khusanov was included in the FA Cup's symbolic squad for the last 16.
