manchester City will be without Bernardo Silva for the visit of Nottingham Forest as Jack Grealish returns to training.
The Portuguese picked up a leg injury in the win over Red Star Belgrade in the Champions League and will be out for “the next few weeks”, according to Pep Guardiola, joining Kevin De Bruyne and John Stones on the sidelines. Jeremy Doku could come in after an eye-catching start to life at the Etihad Stadium.
There is more positie news for Grealish and Mateo Kovacic, though. Grealish is back in training with the squad and Kovacic, who has been out with a back complaint, could return to the squad on Sunday. Matheus Nunes should keep his place alongside Rodri.
Julian Alvarez will again start after yet another superb display, in which he scored twice, likely again joined by Phil Foden and Erling Haaland.
Nathan Ake and Sergio Gomez started in midweek and may be replaced by Josko Gvardiol and Manuel Akanji.
Forest prised Turner away from Arsenal during the summer transfer window. He spent a single season with the Gunners but made just seven appearances, all of which came in cup competitions.
At 29-years-old, he was desperately seeking regular first-team football. The player is the number one stopper for the USA national team and that’s a position he will want to keep.
Cooper has been very impressed with his summer purchase. He’s been raving about the player who cost the club £10 million from the team that finished second in the Premier League last season.
Cooper told BBC Sport: “Everyone knew at the end of last season that we needed to add to the goalkeeping part of the squad. I feel we are in a strong place now. It is now a really competitive area of the squad.
