Pep Guardiola has revealed two Manchester City stars will miss out while another player is a doubt for Saturday’s clash with Wolverhampton Wanderers (3pm).
Wolves will host the reigning Premier League champions at Molineux, in what is expected to be one of their toughest tests this season. Summer signing Jean-Ricner Bellegarde will miss out as he is serving a three-match suspension after receiving a red card at Luton Town.
Joe Hodge is a doubt for the match after sustaining a thigh injury. He has since returned to training but remains to be seen whether he’ll be fit enough.
On the injury front, Guardiola added: “We have training, I think John is still not ready, Kevin is not ready. I think the rest is fine. I don’t know about Bernardo. [Stones], he’s better, he feels good.
Training alone. Today is Friday, maybe next week or after Leipzig. It is what it is. It’s a pity but if you are not you are not, have to find a solution. The players want to come back. Recover and come back.”
