The Cityzens will be heading into the European encounter following a 3-1 comeback win over Chelsea in the Premier League 2024/25 match on Saturday 25 January, 2025 at Etihad Stadium.
Manchester City will host Club Brugge at the Etihad Stadium for the Uefa Champions League 2024/25 League Phase match on Wednesday 29 January, 2025 at 21:00 (WAT).
Tomorrow’s match is a must win for Guardiola’s side to qualify for play-offs.
At his press conference ahead of the match, Guardiola said:
On Injury Updates…
“The guys who were there against Chelsea are available, and I think Oscar [Bobb] came back as well.”
On the chance to progress…
“We want to have a chance to play another two games to qualify for the next stages. It is an opportunity, a challenge, and we will face it.”
On John Stones…
“He played 35 minutes [against Chelsea] and played really well. We will see today how he feels.”
On Club Brugge…
“I expect a tough opponent. When a team is 21 games unbeaten it is because they are good. There are no secrets about that… [They have] different variations in the build-up. We have to read well what we have to do. But every team has weaknesses. You have to find them and punish them.”
