The England international hasn’t played for Manchester City since their 3-1 defeat to Real Madrid at the Bernabeu. Stones remains on the comeback trail from the thigh injury he sustained in February.

They will be hoping to begin their campaign with a victory in Philadelphia. Wydad AC will be eyeing an upset against one of the tournament favourites in Manchester City. But if Pep Guardiola’s side can pick up all three points at Lincoln Financial Field it could kickstart their Club World Cup campaign.
