“Don’t know yet. Tomorrow, training.” – Pep Guardiola on whether Bernardo Silva will be back
At Friday’s press conference, Guardiola spoke about Ruben Dias (hamstring), who returned to the City squad on Wednesday night as an unused substitute.
“He’s back, we’ll see if he plays minutes. But good news for us.” – Pep Guardiola on Ruben Dias
John Stones (thigh) is inching his way closer to a comeback, too.
“John [Stones] make yesterday his first training session with the team. He’s, step-by-step, coming back.” – Pep Guardiola
Jeremy Doku (calf), Josko Gvardiol (leg), Mateo Kovacic (ankle) and Savinho (thigh) are all still sidelined.
Guardiola was asked if there was a chance Erling Haaland could be benched at Anfield, with Omar Marmoush bagging a brace in midweek.
“Erling is the best striker in the world. I don’t know [if he plays], we’ll see tomorrow. Always, I said, Erling is the best.” – Pep Guardiola
