Manchester City received an injury boost yesterday as defender John Stones returned to training following two games out with injury.

Stones missed the draw with Tottenham and victory over Bournemouth with a thigh problem, but was part of the squad who trained at the CFA yesterday in preparation for the Premier League clash with Brighton at the Etihad at the weekend.

City also have Benjamin Mendy in training as the left-back continues his recovery from knee surgery, but Gabriel Jesus is expected to miss the Brighton clash after sitting out against Bournemouth. Leroy Sane remains the only long-term absentee following his surgery on a damaged ACL last week.

Meanwhile, City were drawn against Preston in the Carabao Cup last night as they begin their defence of the trophy they have won in the last two seasons.

In today's Champions League draw, they got Shakhtar Donetsk, Dinamo Zagreb and Atalanta in their group.
