'He will be ready' — Guardiola offers injury update on Manchester City star

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has delivered an important injury update ahead of his side's clash against Everton.

Pep Guardiola has endured an injury nightmare this season, losing several important players for large parts of the campaign so far.

One of the earliest injury blows was talented winger Oscar Bobb, who was in line for a major role in the Manchester City first-team squad this season, building upon an impressive last campaign and a starring role in the pre-season tour of the United States.

However, the 21-year-old sustained a leg bone fracture during a training session, ruling him out for more than five months.

When asked about Bobb's status, Pep Guardiola admitted,

"I don't know with Oscar. Still, he didn't train with the team once, so we will see.

"I think it's a question of the bone and when it's fixed, not in pain, he will be ready."

Once Bobb returns to training, Guardiola expects it will take some time for him to regain his rhythm.

"And I think for his physicality with some weeks of training, he will get a little bit of his rhythm. Not like we saw in pre-season, but quite similar."
