Pep Guardiola and John Stones answered questions from journalists on the eve of the trip to Bratislava in the Champions League.
Find their main statements below:
PEP
Slovan Bratislava is a courageous team. I saw them against Celtic, they were not afraid to play. I have immense respect for all the teams, especially when we play away. I hope we will be aggressive enough to get a result.
We will field the best team possible to be competitive and win the match.
Foden feels good. You can’t forget that he didn’t train for two months…Now he’s smiling and he’s got his rhythm back. You also have to remember that he was the best player in the Premier League last season.
I hope Kevin De Bruyne will be back after the international break.
Stones
This is bad news for us. I spoke with Rodri yesterday, he is fine, he is resting. The level at which he has played in recent seasons is exceptional. We know he will be out for a long time but we have players capable of playing well in his position.
It’s simply a football match, against a quality team. We are focused on doing our job well. We know it will be difficult. It’s an opportunity to take points and show our progress since the last match.
