Pep Guardiola says Ilkay Gundogan should be available for this weekend’s trip to Arsenal.
Missing his first Premier League game since Gameweek 12, Gundogan sat out City’s win at Goodison Park.
The 30-year-old picked up a groin injury last weekend in the 3-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur and wasn’t deemed fit enough to feature against Everton.
Guardiola confirm Gundogan is better now and should be available for this weekend’s trip to Arsenal.
“He is much, much better,” Guardiola said when asked about Gundogan.
“It is not a big issue, but to avoid risk today, we have given him a few more days to recover. But for Arsenal and Borussia Monchengladbach he should be ready….”
“Gundo is exceptional. We spoke about that. If you want to win titles and finals we need the whole squad.”
The Germany international has been in red-hot form, with 11 goals in his last 12 Premier League games.
He was awarded the Premier League Player of the month for February and his form has eased the absence of several key players over the last few weeks.
