So far, so good for Pep Guardiola in the international break. All the Manchester City boss asks is that his players return free from injury.

He would prefer they didn't play at all, but accepts the honour of playing for your country. Even some potentially provocative comments from Spain manager Luis de la Fuente won't bother him too much.

Guardiola saw two of his players withdraw from international duty having missed the win at West Ham - Phil Foden still suffering from illness and Savinho a surprise omission with a minor setback.
