Manchester City defender Kyle Walker is in contention to play against Shakhtar Donetsk having recovered from a groin injury, says manager Pep Guardiola.
The right-back missed Saturday's 5-0 win over Burnley with the problem.
"If they are here it is because they are ready to play," said the Spaniard.
Midfielder Ilkay Gundogan remains unavailable because of a hamstring problem and Brazil full-back Danilo is also sidelined having sustained an ankle injury on international duty.
On the eve of their game in Ukraine, Guardiola reiterated that his side are still not ready to win the Champions League. City are second in Group F with three points from two games.
"We are going to put in all effort to win this competition, but from what I saw last season we are not ready, that's what I feel," said the former Barcelona boss, whose side were dumped out by Liverpool at the quarter-final stage earlier this year. "That doesn't mean we are not going to try.
"It's one important thing to win this kind of title, you have to be pushed, not just by the manager, by everyone surrounding Manchester City that we have to win it - and still we don't have that feeling, the feeling that the fans are pushing that we have to win the Champions League."
Chance of City progress

Manchester City's win in Hoffenheim coupled with Olympique Lyon's failure to beat Shakhtar Donetsk in France has brought Manchester City's chance of progress back to where it was before they lost at home to Lyon.
The Euro Club Index gives City an 88% chance of making it through to the knockout phase of the Champions League, making them the most likely of the four English teams - Man City, Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool and Manchester United - to get there.
A return of at least four points from the next two matches against Shakhtar will make City's progress more or less certain.
