Report: 5 ft 10 Man City ace tipped for debut as Guardiola deals without £54m-rated star

Netherlands international Nathan Ake has been backed to make his Manchester City debut against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Monday night with Pep Guardiola without Aymeric Laporte.

Guardiola confirmed that he will be without Laporte and star striker Sergio Aguero for the Citizens’ Premier League curtain-raiser at Molineux, as the French centre-half only began full training on Friday after testing positive for Coronavirus upon reporting back for training.

Aguero will also miss the Black Country trip having so far only trained individually, as he bids to build fitness in his knee following the injury sustained against Burnley in June that required surgery.
