“He’s fit for tomorrow,” said Guardiola at his pre-match press conference.
“Step by step, he is getting better. He’s not still top but he’s getting better. He’s good to get minutes for tomorrow.”
The boss, who could well use the third round tie as a chance to blood some youngsters, also spoke about the development of young Eric Garcia, who has deputised at centre-half in Stones’ absence.
