Stones (thigh) is still hopeful to return soon, according to manager Pep Guardiola.
ANALYSIS
Stones remains without a quality update having not featured since Dec. 2 because of a muscle injury. Given the recent happenings that include returning Max Alleyne from loan and possibly transferring in Marc Guehi, the outlook doesn't look great for Stones. Even when he returns, he's failed to remain consistently healthy the last few seasons.

The 31-year-old center-back is one of the longest-tenured players on the Manchester City roster.
