Manchester City are gearing up for their return to Premier League action this weekend.

City host Wolves at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday looking to continue their quest for Premier League glory. Pep Guardiola's side go into the game one point behind leaders Arsenal with a game in hand, who take on Bournemouth a few hours before City kick-off.

The weekend saw City claim a much-needed win over Nottingham Forest with goals from Josko Gvardiol and Erling Haaland. The victory saw City follow Arsenal's win over Tottenham Hotspur to maintain the one-point gap in the title race.

However, the trip to the City Ground saw City leave with some fitness concerns. MEN Sport takes a look at City's current injury list and potential return dates.

Ederson

Ederson is the latest City player to suffer an injury and will likely face a spell on the sidelines.

The City goalkeeper was substituted at half-time during the win over Forest to be replaced by Stefan Ortega. He was later spotted after the game with his arm in a sling, and Guardiola provided an update where he was not hopeful of a quick recovery.

"It doesn't look good," said Guardiola. "We see tomorrow with the doctor."

Expected return date: Unknown

Phil Foden

Phil Foden missed City's win over Forest due to illness and was not part of the matchday squad.

City will have had nearly a week to prepare for their next Premier League fixture. By the time kick-off rolls around against Wolves, Guardiola and Co. will hope that Foden has recovered in time to feature this weekend.

Expected return date: Wolves (H) - May 4

Ruben Dias

Ruben Dias also missed City's win over Forest due to illness and did not travel to the City Ground.

Just like Foden, City will hope that Dias recovers quickly from his illness and returns to the matchday squad to feature against Wolves this weekend.

Expected return date: Wolves (H) - May 4

Erling Haaland

Erling Haaland made his return for City in the win against Forest, where he appeared as a substitute on the hour mark. It was the first time that Haaland had featured for City after missing the club's previous two matches.

Haaland stated after the game that he was back to full fitness and ready for the run-in as City battle to win the Premier League and FA Cup.

“I’m ready – I had a bit of a problem and it’s not nice to bounce back when we went out to Madrid in the Champions League," said Haaland. "It’s been scratching inside of me to get back and now I’m back and feeling good. I’m ready to attack the last five finals.”

Expected return date: Wolves (H) - May 4
