Option off bench Foden (illness) is on the bench for Wednesday's trip to Juventus.

Impact Foden is back on the bench Wednesday, though he likely isn't fit enough for any significant minutes off the bench. The illness he's dealing with has been a bit of a lingering issue, so there's no guarantee he's anywhere close to match fit. Kevin De Bruyne is fully fit and should hold the top job centrally for most of Wednesday's clash.
