Pep Guardiola refused to rule out a fresh approach for Arsenal's Alexis Sanchez after Gabriel Jesus suffered a suspected knee injury in Manchester City's 0-0 draw at Crystal Palace.
On a damaging afternoon, City's pursuit of a 19th successive Premier League victory ended in frustration and with injuries to Jesus and Kevin De Bruyne, who was taken off on a stretcher following a late challenge by Jason Puncheon.
That came in a dramatic finish to the match, which saw Ederson save Luka Milivojevic's late penalty to keep City unbeaten in the league this season.
City attempted to sign Sanchez, whose contract expires at the season's end and who Guardiola once signed for Barcelona, during the summer transfer window.
With Jesus facing a spell on the sidelines Guardiola was asked about the Chilean, and the 46-year-old responded: "We will have meetings and see what is best."
Mourinho Eager For Joao Mario
Jose Mourinho wants Joao Mario from Inter Milan when Henrikh Mkhitaryan goes to the Italian giants. Mkhitaryan, 28, is set for the axe at Manchester United after losing his first-team place, with Inter ready to swoop.
But the Italians have a player Mourinho has targeted as a long-term replacement for Michael Carrick in central midfield. Joao, 24, will cost United at least the £40million that Inter paid Sporting Lisbon just after he won Euro 2016 with Portugal. Inter boss Luciano Spalletti admits his player is not happy at the San Siro but insists there has been no transfer request
