PEP GUARDIOLA PREVIEW

Pep Guardiola addressed the media on Tuesday afternoon. During the press conference, the boss was asked to provide a squad update prior to our trip to Newcastle.

And he had good news about a couple of players who were recently side lined through injury.

“Jack is much better, Mateo as well,” said Guardiola. 

I don’t know how many minutes, from the beginning or second half, but they’re going to play minutes, yeah.”

With Rodrigo unavailable for selection through suspension, Guardiola said that Kalvin Phillips will make his first start of the season.

“He will start. Not just this week but for many times since he arrived, Rodri has been really important, his consistency, he knows everything, the game like what happened against Forest.

“The second half was a little bit more defensively, you have to do the process, and [Phillips] made three or four incredible options to help us breathe.”
