Pep Guardiola press conference LIVE Man City team news updates vs Crvena Zvezda in Champions League

Pep Guardiola will hopefully have two Manchester City players back for the opening Champions League group G clash against Crvena Zvezda on Tuesday.

City are still without Kevin De Bruyne and beat West Ham on Saturday without John Stones, Jack Grealish and Mateo Kovacic. Guardiola said after the win at the London Stadium that Stones is likely to miss the Red Star Belgrade clash while Grealish and Kovacic remain doubts.

The injury issues are so much that Guardiola suggested that he will play 'youth team players' next week at Newcastle in the Carabao Cup, with City unable to name a full bench at West Ham due to their lack of players.
