The England playmaker missed the 3-0 win over Wolves as a result of the knock he received at Old Trafford, but the boss confirmed the 22 year-old is recovering well and could train on Thursday afternoon ahead of Friday evening’s FA Cup tie with Arsenal.
Asked how Foden’s injury was, Guardiola said: “It is getting better, we have training this afternoon.”
The boss also revealed there are no other injury concerns ahead of the game against the Gunners.
When asked how the rest of the squad were, he replied: “Good.”
Guardiola was asked whether the game against Arsenal could have a bearing on the title race that is developing between the defending Premier League champions and Mikel Arteta’s side.
“It’s a different competition,” said Pep.
“It’s the FA Cup. It’s a final. And of course, it’s more than Arsenal - it’s about proving ourselves – how is our level?
“When a team makes 50 points in one leg, it’s because they have been the best and they are.
“So we have to prove ourselves, how far away or how close we are and the best way to notice is perform our best level.
“Otherwise against a team in that moment, it will be difficult.”
