"Dias and Bobb not ready to feature in FA Cup", says Guardiola

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola spoke at a press conference ahead of his side's FA Cup third-round tie against League Two side Salford next Saturday.

The Catalan coach provided fitness updates on two of his players recovering from injury, Ruben Dias and Oscar Bobb, both of whom he said will not play against Salford. 

“Not yet. He feels better but not ready. I don’t know when,” he said on Dias. On Bobb, he claimed: “(He is) training with the team partially. That’s good news for us. It was a fractured bone. Now that is healed, he’s fine but good news is he’s back.”

The former Bayern and Barca coach was asked by the press about the condition of Brazilian Ederson and John Stones where the Sky Blues boss ruled Stones out of the game. "Ederson is fine but John Stones is not," he said.
