Pep Guardiola gives Kalvin Phillips and Julian Alvarez updates ahead of Man City vs Everton

Pep Guardiola confirmed that Julian Alvarez will return to Manchester City after the Everton game.

City are missing Ruben Dias through a hamstring injury and will play another game without World Cup winner Alvarez as he finishes his rest following Argentina's successful tournament. The young striker will return to Manchester following the Everton game and could be in contention for the matches against Chelsea next week.

Guardiola also stressed that Kalvin Phillips will be available again after he was excluded from the Carabao Cup win over Liverpool because he returned 'overweight' after the World Cup. The midfielder was back in the squad for the game against Leeds after Christmas, where he was an unused substitute.
