Although he has been training this week, he was not part of the squad for that game.

The midfielder, who joined from Porto for €60 million ($62 million) on the last day of the transfer window, hurt his ribs after falling badly during a challenge with Leyton Orient’s Sonny Perkins.
Even after getting medical help, Gonzalez was seen holding his side in pain as he left the field early in the FA Cup fourth-round match at Brisbane Road.
Talking about the injury, City manager Pep Guardiola said, “I think Nico quickly understood what playing in the Premier League is like. I am not sure how serious the injury is, but he was unable to continue.”
This injury could be a big worry for Guardiola as Manchester City prepares for their Champions League playoff match against Real Madrid on Tuesday.
