Pep Guardiola confirms early Man City team news before Chelsea FA Cup final | OneFootball

Man City are almost at full strength for the FA Cup final showdown

The Spaniard has missed the last five games in all competitions - including the semi-final win over Southampton - because of a groin injury sustained in the win over Arsenal on April 19.

Rodri was spotted in training before Man City’s penultimate home game of the season against Crystal Palace, though was left out of the matchday squad.

“I don’t know. I don’t know,” the Man City boss told reporters.

“We’ll see in the next days.”

Guardiola will provide another update at his pre-match press conference on Friday afternoon, though Nico Gonzalez, Tijjani Reijnders and Nico O’Reilly are all options if Rodri is ruled out.

Man City head to Wembley Stadium on Saturday afternoon bidding to complete the second part of a potential domestic treble, having beaten Arsenal in the Carabao Cup final.

City are on course to take the Premier League title race down to the wire after cruising to victory over Palace, but are still reliant on the Gunners slipping up in their remaining two games.

In a boost for Man City, Josko Gvardiol made his return from a broken leg - sustained in the 1-1 draw against Chelsea at the start of the year - and played for nearly an hour on Wednesday night.

Furthermore, leading scorer Erling Haaland was rested completely and therefore should be fresh to lead the line in the final.
