Guardiola takes full squad, Cherki held back

Manchester City confirmed a 21-man squad for the Champions League clash with Monaco, with Rodri fit again after a knee scare and joining the trip. Rayan Cherki, though, stays home to continue his recovery.

Mateo Kovacic could make his first appearance of the season, while teenager Divine Mukasa is included. It’s a strong group — so strong even Monaco might consider checking City’s bench for spare passports.
