The England international, who features in almost 30% of teams at present, will be a welcome addition at the Etihad with John Stones, Ruben Dias and Josko Gvardiol all out injured.
Furthermore, Nico Gonzalez is a doubt for Saturday’s Manchester derby with an “incredible knock” while Oscar Bobb is not yet ready to return.
Elsewhere, Mikel Arteta revealed that one of his injured players might return this weekend with Piero Hincapie seemingly the most likely as Riccardo Calafiori, Max Dowman and Cristhian Mosquera are all thought to be a few weeks away yet.
Richarlison is expected to be out until March after he injured his hamstring against Aston Villa in the FA Cup.
Rodrigo Bentancur underwent hamstring surgery earlier this week and will be sidelined for the foreseeable future.
In better news for Tottenham, Dominic Solanke made his first appearance since August in the same fixture and will make Saturday’s matchday squad for West Ham’s visit to North London — the same goes for Destiny Udogie and Lucas Bergvall.
As for the Hammers, Konstaninos Mavropanos and Mateus Fernandes are considered doubts while Lucas Paqueta may have played his last game for the club amid speculation of a move to Brazil.

Scans revealed that Jacob Murphy’s hamstring injury is not a serious one but the winger is among Newcastle’s list of absentees that also includes Fabian Schar, who will be sidelined until spring having undergone surgery on his ankle.
Dan Burn and William Osula are close to returns but Sunday’s trip to Wolves may come too soon.
Liam Rosenior is relatively confident that key players Reece James and Cole Palmer will be able to play some part against Brentford provided they report no issues after today’s training session.
Liam Delap and Jamie Gittens did not train with their Chelsea team-mates due to illness as the club’s medical team attempt to contain a troublesome virus.
As for the Bees, Keith Andrews says that Dango Ouattara is back but admits Jordan Henderson remains a minor doubt after the midfielder hurt his ankle last time out.

Yankuba Minteh has been struggling with a dead leg but the lively winger is “an option” for Brighton’s game against Bournemouth on Monday night.
Carlos Baleba has returned from AFCON but is once again linked with a move away from the south coast with Manchester United said to be his primary admirers.
Jack Grealish’s one-match suspension was served in the FA Cup and so he will be available for Everton at Villa Park on Sunday but Michael Keane continues to serve his punishment for a straight red against Wolves.
Unai Emery will be without Boubacar Kamara due to a knee injury while a late decision will be made on Emi Martinez after assessment.
Ross Barkley and Amadou Onana remain sidelined for the Villains and new signing Alysson won’t be involved just yet.
