Man City boss Guardiola delivers injury update on duo before key Brentford clash

Pep Guardiola has given updates on injuries to Rodri and Josko Gvardiol before Manchester City’s must-win game against Brentford.

After a chaotic 3-3 draw against Everton, Manchester City have once again put the title race back into Arsenal’s hands. Now, they host Brentford on Saturday afternoon, before their title rivals play West Ham, and must take three points to keep the pressure on.

They have received a boost, as manager Pep Guardiola confirmed that defender Josko Gvardiol was back in training and could feature, having been sidelined since January with a broken leg.

“He’s good, his training has been good,” Guardiola said. “He’s been out for many months. Last season he was very a important player for us, playing all the games but at one point the body says enough is enough.

“But we’re happy he’s back, hopefully he can help us in the last part of the season and have a good world cup with Croatia and next season we can have him again at his best because he’s an important player, central defender, full-back, he can play different roles, and he’s so fast, so quick,” he continued. “So it’s just really good to have him back like Ruben [] as well.”
