Every word from Pep Guardiola on Man City vs Nottingham Forest team news and transfer updates
Pep Guardiola could offer an injury update on three Manchester City players ahead of the Premier League visit of Nottingham Forest on Wednesday.
City were without Nathan Ake, Kalvin Phillips and Jack Grealish for the comeback win over Crystal Palace on Saturday, with Aymeric Laporte also a longer-term injury concern. Guardiola may provide fresh updates on the trio, who would all hope to face newly-promoted Forest if they were fit.
Guardiola may also offer an insight into his rotation plans against Forest, with the return of midweek games and the Champions League beginning next week. And with the transfer window closing on Thursday, Guardiola is likely to be asked about any remaining transfer activity at City, even though he was clear last week that Bernardo Silva will definitely be staying at the club.
Also among potential talking points is the news today that Bournemouth manager Scott Parker has been sacked after they lost 9-0 vs Liverpool, having previously been beaten 4-0 at City.

That's the end of the open section of the press conference, with the rest embargoed until later tonight.

How good he is. I know him a little from TV for River Plate. Surprised at how good he is.

Definitely. So humble and positive. Every session leaves everything. Impact in pre-season, now plays minutes. Involved in two goals the last game, always the sense to be involved in the right areas. When he drops he has the quality to play. Everyone is talking about Erling, but he is exceptional.
Many years together, impact is always position. Especially this season he's started really well. Last game
