Pep Guardiola confirms triple Man City boost ahead of Tottenham

Pep Guardiola suggested he could have a full squad available as Manchester City prepare to face Tottenham.

John Stones and Ruben Dias were back in training this week after missing the Manchester derby through injury. Dias has not featured since picking up a hamstring injury with Portugal at the World Cup, while Stones suffered an issue last week that forced him out of the last two fixtures.

Kevin De Bruyne came off the bench against Southampton and started the derby. However, he did not take part in Tuesday's group session to raise doubts over his availability for the Spurs game.

Guardiola confirmed at his press conference that there was nothing to worry about with De Bruyne, revealing that he had only missed training on Tuesday because of a personal issue. The Belgian trained as usual with the rest of the squad on Wednesday and will be available to face Spurs on Thursday.

The manager also indicated that Stones and Dias could also feature against Spurs as they recover from their various injuries.

"They are back," he said. "They trained really well in the last two training sessions so they are both in contention."
