The England international with 20 goals in 37 appearances for City this season has not been able to train and hoped intense treatment all week would speed up his recovery.

But the 23-year-old is now in a race against time to be available for Thursday’s Premier Legaue trip to the Emirates to face the Gunners.

If he does not make it against Arsenal, then Pep will be desperate for Sterling to be fit to face Chelsea next Sunday at the Etihad.

There has been some good news for the Spanish coach with striker Gabriel Jesus returning to fitness.
