Guardiola says Trafford will play against Southampton
How can I watch City v Southampton on TV?
The Blues go into a record eighth consecutive FA Cup semi-final this weekend, seeking a record fourth successive appearance in the final itself.
And Trafford, who played every game en route to Carabao Cup glory earlier this campaign as well as in our run in the FA Cup to date, will again feature against this time around.
Asked in Friday’s press conference whether Trafford or Gianluigi Donnarumma would play, Guardiola was unequivocal in his response.
“James,” he said.
“In the Carabao Cup he was a main, main figure and the FA Cup the same. I’m really pleased that he can play.
“I’ve said many times the big clubs have to have two big goalkeepers and we’re really good. James and Gigio are there.”
