John Stones Returns for PSG Clash, Doku's Absence Remains a Mystery
Manchester City has announced a 21-man squad for their crucial Champions League away fixture against Paris Saint-Germain, with the key highlight being the return of central defender John Stones.
Stones' recovery provides a significant boost for Pep Guardiola's side ahead of the decisive showdown in Paris. However, defensive partner Nathan Aké remains sidelined, having missed the weekend clash against Ipswich.
One notable absentee from the traveling squad is Belgian winger Jérémy Doku, whose omission has not been officially explained by the club. His absence raises questions, especially given his recent form and importance to City's attacking play.
Manchester City currently sits in 22nd place in the UEFA Champions League rankings and faces a crucial task of avoiding defeat against PSG to maintain their position. A positive result in Paris would leave City's fate in their own hands, with a final group stage match against Club Brugge still to come.
