Great News for Guardiola: Key Players Return as Manchester Gears Up for Arsenal Chase

Gvardiol had been sidelined for the Citizens since early January, when a fractured right foot forced him out of the league match against Chelsea. “We are happy he’s back. We hope he helps us in the final stretch of the season and also Croatia at the World Cup. We believe we will see him at his best next season,” AP quoted Guardiola as saying at the pre-match press conference ahead of the Brentford game.

The Spanish coach also indicated that Rodri could return to the squad after recovering from a hamstring injury.

Manchester City is battling for the Premier League title, trailing leaders Arsenal by five points with a game in hand.
