Ahead of Manchester City’s FA Cup match against Salford City on Saturday, January 11, manager Pep Guardiola has shared some positive updates regarding the club’s injury list.

City has faced a number of injury setbacks, with several key players spending time off the pitch.

However, Guardiola expressed relief that the situation is improving.

Speaking at a press conference, he confirmed that while some players are still recovering, the team is slowly regaining strength.

One of the players in focus is Ruben Dias, who has been sidelined for some time.

Guardiola revealed that although Dias is feeling better, he won’t be ready to feature against Salford.

“Not yet. He feels better but not ready. I don’t know when,” the manager said.

In better news, Guardiola spoke about young player Oscar Bobb, who has recently recovered from a fracture.

Bobb is now back in training with the team, which is a major boost.

“He is training with the team partially. That’s good news for us. It was a fractured bone.

Now that it’s healed, he’s fine, but good news is he’s back,” Guardiola added.
