The Spanish coach of Manchester City, Pep Guardiola, made this statement in the press conference for the Sparta Prague match in the Champions League, which will be held tomorrow at ten o’clock Egypt and Mecca time.

Where he said about the players’ readiness: “Everyone is ready for the match and is training except for Rodri and Oscar Pope, and Devin De Bruyne is not ready and Kyle Walker is also due to his knee injury, and I do not know how long the duo will be absent.

He added about Foden: “He feels better and this is evident in the minutes he played in the last match, and I feel that he is improving more.”

He continued his speech: "I liked the way we won in the last minutes, and I have great admiration for the Wolverhampton team. The celebrations are very important and show how passionate the team is that celebrated like this in the month of October and not May or April. They want the title and we are there to compete and this means a lot to me."

He added: “Stones, I love him very much. He is my son. We have come to understand each other through our body language, without saying a word. We have been together for years. How many training sessions have we gone through together?” How many matches have we played together? He is one of the best players I have ever coached.”

He added: “I have never been as angry before as I was when Stones was injured in a friendly match.” For England last season, when we had a Champions League quarter-final match, so we lost to Real Madrid, during the break, your player cannot return intact.”

And he concluded his speech. : “I am happy with the team’s performance in the absence of Rodri. The team is great and is working great.”
