However, the one update that he has since provided on the situation was very positive.
Asked if he is doing alright, during a post-match interview with TNT, the English winger replied: “I hope so, I’ve got a bad dead leg. A bit of time to recover and hopefully I can.”
Meanwhile Kevin De Bruyne missed the exciting stalemate with Madrid due to an unspecified illness, but is expected to return here.
Meanwhile Nathan Ake (calf) and Kyle Walker (hamstring) remain sidelined for this one.
