Pep Guardiola press conference LIVE Man City injury update vs Sevilla in UEFA Super Cup

Pep Guardiola will likely provide injury updates on some of his key players this afternoon ahead of Manchester City's clash with Sevilla in the UEFA Super Cup in Athens.

City are competing in the Super Cup for the first time, having won their first Champions League title last season. They face perennial Europa League winners Sevilla, having comfortably beaten the Spanish side twice in the Champions League group stage on their way to winning the tournament.

The Blues have travelled to Greece without the injured Ruben Dias and Kevin De Bruyne, while Bernardo Silva is also absent through illness. John Stones missed the Burnley win with a minor injury, and has travelled but may still be a doubt. Joao Cancelo is not injured, but has been left out of the squad for the third game running.

City are looking to win the Super Cup to add to their collection, with players like Dias citing this competition and the Club World Cup as new competitions that the players are desperate to win this season.

Follow below for every word from Guardiola ahead of the fixture with Sevilla.

Reunion with Jesus Navas.

To be here in this conference to play tomorrow, the game you have to win the CL or EL. It's not easy. Maybe for Sevilla is easier because they won a lot of Europa Leagues. They are a team when they play good they win. Their character and resilience. They have something that makes this club. I have the feeling it makes them more dangerous against us. You cannot imagine how happy we are to play this game because we have to win the CL. We have to take this opportunity, who knows when we are back.

Maybe now I'd have extended Jesus' contract. It was an old team in that period, lots of players past 30. In that year a lot of changes.
