Manchester City defender Nicolas Otamendi is a huge doubt to be available for Tuesday night’s season-defining Champions League quarter-final second leg tie against Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain, according to the Manchester Evening News.
Reports suggest that the central defender limped out of the stadium after Saturday’s 2-1 win over West Brom and could now miss City’s biggest game of the season.
Should the reports be true, the Sky Blues are likely to field a partnership of Eliaquim Mangala and Martin Demichelis.
The two have only played together twice this season – in the 4-1 home loss to Liverpool and in the recent Manchester derby which saw Marcus Rashford give the visitors victory.
City skipper Vincent Kompany is an option but he admitted himself that he would be ‘touch and go’ for the PSG game.
PSG have also been plagued with injuries ahead of the match, with Marco Verratti, Javier Pastore and Kevin Trapp all likely to be unavailable.
