“They are training individually,” said Guardiola.
“They are much better, especially Phil. Right now they are on a day off and tomorrow we train in the morning and we will see how they feel.
“We will not take risks, but hopefully they will come back soon.
“For the last game against Paris Saint-Germain we had 17 players, just 15 in the first team, McAtee and Palmer helped us.
“With this amount of games, we need them back as soon as possible to help us.”
Kevin De Bruyne is still isolating after testing positive for COVID-19 last week.
“A little bit tired, no taste,” said the boss.
“The symptoms other people say when you have got COVID, he feels it.
“Now he is seven or eight days. A few more days and we will do a PCR test and if he is negative he will be back.”
