Antoine Semenyo is the one Man City need to "wait a little bit" on, said Enzo Maresca. Asked if Erling Haaland, who appeared to limp off, has a knee injury, Maresca said: "I don't know. I asked him, he said that he was okay." Nico O'Reilly still has the back issue from Coventry.
Phil Foden is back from suspension for Man City v Ipswich on 17 October, but Enzo Maresca won't say if he starts: City played 48 hours earlier, Ipswich had a week. He's weighing rest "at some point" for Erling Haaland, Elliot Anderson, Enzo Fernández, Marc Guéhi and Rúben Dias.
