Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola might have watched the England match through his fingers with so many of his players involved on Tuesday night. However, in the end, Guardiola pretty much got exactly what he wanted from the win over Italy.
Pep Guardiola issues team news update on three Man City players
29.09.2023 - 13:47 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Bernardo Silva won't be fit to return for Manchester City at Wolves this weekend and the Blues will also be without John Stones and Kevin De Bruyne for the trip to Molineux.
Pep Guardiola's side train on Friday afternoon but Stones and De Bruyne are still absent and Bernardo will also miss the game. The Portuguese midfielder limped off during the Champions League win against Red Star Belgrade and has missed the fixtures with Nottingham Forest and Newcastle since then.
But City have got players returning from injury, with Mateo Kovacic and Jack Grealish back in action this week and set to be involved as Guardiola's side seek a seventh successive Premier League win to start the season.

Asked about the fitness of his squad, Guardiola said: "I think John is still not ready, Kevin is not ready, Bernardo is not okay, I think the rest is fine."
But Stones, who hasn't played since the Community Shield due to a muscle injury, could be in line for a return next week and is currently training on his own as part of his recovery process.
"He's better, we spoke and he feels good, [he is] training alone. Maybe next week or after Leipzig [he returns to training]."
Stones could have been utilised this week with Rodri suspended, but Guardiola added: "It is what it is. It's a pity but if you are not you are not, have to find a solution. The players want to come back. Recover and come back."
