Wolverhampton Wanderers
Wolves new boy Kalajdzic is not the only player set for a long spell out of action, as Chiquinho went under the knife for his knee problem earlier in the summer and is facing several months on the sidelines.
Jimenez was a notable absentee from the showdown with Southampton, and despite reports claiming that he was in with a strong chance of returning for the postponed clash with Liverpool, he is still unavailable.
Nevertheless, Costa ought to be ready to make his debut for Lage's side against the reigning champions, although Hwang Hee-chan is waiting in the wings in case the 33-year-old needs more time to get up to speed.
Wolverhampton Wanderers possible starting lineup:
Sa; Jonny, Kilman, Collins, Ait-Nouri; Nunes, Neves, Moutinho; Neto, Hwang, Podence
Manchester City
The visitors also remain rather fortunate on the injury front, and Aymeric Laporte - who suffered his knee injury at Molineux last season - should be back in action after the international break following his return to training.
Laporte will miss this game, though, while the quick turnaround time also makes it difficult to picture Kyle Walker making himself available, but Guardiola should ring the changes either way.
Ruben Dias will expect to return to the backline for City, who also have Phil Foden and Bernardo Silva ready to return to the forward line, with Jack Grealish and Riyad Mahrez seemingly set to make way.
Manchester City possible starting lineup:
Ederson; Stones, Akanji, Dias, Cancelo; Gundogan, Rodri, De Bruyne; Silva, Haaland, Foden
Prediction: Wolverhampton Wanderers 0-1 Manchester City
