Manchester City are left with more injury issues, with Pep Guardiola ruling out a trio of first-choice defenders for the final three games of this absorbing title race.
Ruben Dias limped out at half-time of Sunday’s five-goal mauling of Newcastle United after suffering a hamstring problem.
Guardiola confirmed that Dias, Kyle Walker and John Stones will play no further part this season as City look to stave off Liverpool and clinch a fourth Premier League crown in five years.
Nathan Ake was named on the bench on Sunday but his persistent ankle problem is likely to see the Holland international miss Wednesday’s visit to Wolves, described by Guardiola as a ‘final final’.
