Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola appeared to talk about the team’s match tomorrow, Saturday, against Ipswich Town, in the second round of the English Premier League.

The coach said: “The condition of the team? Savinho is feeling better. I don’t think he is completely in his best condition, but we will see today.” And tomorrow what we want to do with him, Rodrigo is improving, but he was not with the group. Maybe he can participate in partial training today, but I don’t think he will be available.”

He added, “The club is managed for everyone in an amazing way. They [the players] have everything They need him to perform at the highest possible level. That's why it's a comfortable place to work."

On Gundogan's return: "He played very well last season [for Barcelona] and I know how competitive he is. I love his qualities and he will give us an incredible alternative. He knows everything so he doesn't need time to adapt. If he has to play tomorrow he knows everything. He is always in the right place and everyone is excited and happy to have him back. "

He continued: "Concluding new deals, I don't think so." But I don't know. The market might provide something good for us financially, but at the moment I don't know."

He concluded: "Sterling's return to Manchester City? He is a Chelsea player. I feel very connected to him because of the time we spent together and I feel that way with all my players. But he is a Chelsea player. If you had asked me about Gundogan before, I would have said that he is a Barcelona player. I wish him all the best.”
