Pep Guardiola gave a team news update on three Manchester City players ahead of the Premier League game at Aston Villa tomorrow (Saturday).

City were comfortable 6-0 winners over Nottingham Forest on Wednesday, although they won that game without Jack Grealish, Nathan Ake and Kalvin Phillips who were all injured.

Guardiola said before the Forest game that the trio were all back in light training and could be ready for the trip to Villa, so he could offer a fresh update today.

Grealish and Ake have been pictured in training since the Forest encounter, raising hopes they are close to returning for Villa.
