Ilkay Gundogan - Pictured in training Gundogan (thigh) was pictured in training ahead of Saturday's match against Burnley.

Impact Gundogan has been out since Sept. 18 with a thigh injury, but he used the international break to recover and could be an option to start as soon as Saturday. He's been a regular when healthy, so if ready for a full 90, he'll likely take the spot of Bernardo Silva against Burnley.

Ferran Torres - Foot injury confirmed Torres suffered a foot injury while away on international duty, confirmed Man City on Thursday.

Impact Early reports suggest Torres broke a bone in his foot and he'll be out up to a month, but Man City didn't dive into the details in this update. While he lost his position in the team following the addition of Jack Grealish, his absence definitely shortens Man City's bench for the next month.

Ferran Torres - Could miss time with foot injury Torres could be out an extended period of time after suffering a foot injury during the international break, reports Manchester Evening News.

Impact Torres suffered the issue in the first match over the break and he deemed it as "discomfort" before playing 84 minutes in the second match this past Sunday. Clearly, it's something that was overlooked and now he may have to miss up to four weeks. While he hasn't appeared in Man City's last four matches, it's a definite blow to the team's depth up front.

Raheem Sterling - Struggles off bench Sterling failed to put a shot on goal during 24 minutes off the bench in Sunday's two-all draw with Liverpool.

Impact Sterling always struggles against his old club, and Sunday was no different. The forward was brought off the bench to try and provide a spark for the offense and absolutely failed to do so. He failed to put a shot on goal, and the one chance he created was fanciful at best. Sterling has struggled for form, and has only made three starts this season.

Kevin De Bruyne - Scores in draw De Bruyne scored once on five shots (one on goal) during Sunday's two-all draw with Liverpool.

Impact De Bruyne scored late to salvage the draw for Manchester City, after falling to a wasteful performance for most of the match. De Bruyne was desperate to put anything on net, and ended up shooting freely, with the most shots in the match. The midfielder is one of the best in the Premier League and has a smash spot against Burnley after the break.

Gabriel Jesus - Assists again Jesus provided one assist on three chances created during Sunday's two-all draw with Liverpool.

Impact Jesus once again got on the scoresheet, tallying his fourth assist of the season. Jesus has been in excellent form with the extra playing time he's garnered with Sergio Aguero departing the club. Jesus is a top option in any match and will be leading the line after the international break as well.

Phil Foden - Scores in draw Foden scored once on two shots on goal during Sunday's two-all draw with Liverpool.

Impact Foden scored once in what became a man of the match performance, starting on the left-wing Foden had an impact across the match. He consistently pressured James Milner at right-back and caused issues all over the final third. His goal was a just reward as Foden continues to be the spark in attack for Manchester City.
