PEP GUARDIOLA PREVIEW
The boss revealed that John Stones is ‘much better’ after his recent injury lay-off.
The City boss also gave updates on the availability of Mateo Kovacic and Matheus Nunes.
Kovacic returned to training earlier this week, while Nunes’ recovery will take a little longer.
“He [Stones] is much better, yeah. He’s really close to coming back,” said the boss.
“He’ll be with us; he’ll be there.
“Mateo is already back, I think,” he said.
“He trained well yesterday, but Matheus is still maybe days or weeks away.”
PREVIOUS MEETING
