Guardiola names two possible returnees in ‘no pain’

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola says striker Sergio Aguero could return to the side to face Everton.

“He did the last two training sessions with the team. He has no pain but after we are going to decide,” Guardiola said.

Midfielder Kevin De Bruyne will also be checked ahead of the game at the Etihad. The Belgian suffered a knee ligament injury in the EFL Cup win over Fulham on November 1.

Guardiola added: “The same as Sergio. He has trained, no pain. We will see.”

John Stones was replaced at half-time during the midweek Champions League win over Hoffenheim due to a knee problem.

However, Guardiola had positive news about the England defender, saying: “Stones had treatment yesterday and he will train this afternoon.”

Despite the club’s recent spate of injuries, Guardiola insisted they had no plans to add any reinforcements when the transfer window opens next month.

He said: “In January we are not going to sign anyone.”
