Manchester City are set to welcome back three defenders for Tuesday's Champions League group stage clash with Atalanta.

John Stones, Kyle Walker and Nicolas Otamendi were all absent in Saturday's win over Crystal Palace, with midfielders Rodri and Fernandinho acting as makeshift centre-backs.

Walker has been out with a virus, while Otamendi suffered a blow on international duty with Argentina.

Stones hasn't started since suffering a thigh injury against Norwich last month.
