Jack Grealish and Kyle Walker out as Manchester City face Sporting Lisbon

Manchester City are without Jack Grealish and Kyle Walker as they face Sporting Lisbon in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie on Tuesday.

Record signing Grealish is still troubled by the shin problem that forced him to miss Saturday’s win at Norwich, while right-back Walker is beginning a three-match European suspension for his sending off against Leipzig.

Forward Gabriel Jesus is still out with the knock sustained on international duty last month, while youngster Cole Palmer (foot) also remains on the sidelines.

Provisional squad: Ederson, Steffen, Carson, Cancelo, Stones, Dias, Laporte, Ake, Zinchenko, Mbete, Wilson-Esbrand, Gundogan, Rodri, Fernandinho, De Bruyne, Silva, Mahrez, Foden, McAtee, Sterling, Kayky.
