On Saturday 21 December, 2024, Manchester City will take a trip to the Villa Park for the Premier League showdown against Aston Villa at 13:30 (WAT).
At his press conference ahead of the match, Guardiola said:
On Ruben Dias…
“[Ruben Dias will be out for] three or four weeks. It’s muscular. [He played] 75 minutes against United and he felt something but he is so strong and wanted to stay on the pitch.”
On Akanji and Stones…
“Manuel [Akanji] and John [Stones] are back in training. That is good for us…
I don’t know yet [if they will start on Saturday]. Yesterday was their first training session.”
On tomorrow’s game…
“I handle good moments and I handle bad ones… I know we can get a good result and see the team coming back and that is what we want to do.”
