Pep Lijnders, assistant coach of Manchester City, held a press conference to discuss the team's preparations for facing Tottenham on Sunday in the 24th round of the English Premier League, where he revealed many details related to the team.

Regarding Guardiola's absence from the press conference, Lijnders said: "The coach is as good as ever, full of ambition and passion, but it's a personal matter and he will arrive in Manchester today."

About Doku's injury: "He suffered what he did in the previous injury, but it was on the outside, whereas now the injury is in the middle. The previous injury took 18 days, and this will be shorter. We have to be patient, Doku has a strong body, and we will wait and see."

On preparations for the Tottenham match: "We are excited for this match, we must focus throughout the game, think about our way of playing, and show our style and mentality."

He warned against repeating the Liverpool scenario, saying: "When I was assistant to Jurgen Klopp, with Liverpool we collected 92 points then 97 points, and we didn't win the league against Manchester City, so we have to work hard to achieve it against Arsenal, we can't lose more games."

On support for players and competition in the league: "The English Premier League is currently a crazy competition, all teams have ferocity and quality, every team is capable of surprises, and we will support Ruben Dias after his house was robbed, and he will return to training on Monday."
