Pep Guardiola sends Man City message about Ilkay Gundogan contract amid Real Madrid injury boost

Guardiola on Gundogan future

Pep Guardiola has told Manchester City to do everything they can to keep Ilkay Gundogan at the club.

Gundogan, 32, delivered another impressive performance and was man-of-the-match for the second consecutive Premier League game as he scored two goals and provided an assist in the 3-0 win over Everton.

Coming on the back of his two goals in the 2-1 win over Leeds, the German midfielder is peaking at the right time just as he delivered for City on the final day of last season.

However, the Blues may have to do without him next year as his contract runs out in June and there is no sign of an extension coming. Barcelona are one of the leading clubs interested, and can sign him on a free if he does not agree fresh terms with City.

Madrid confirm squad to face City

Real Madrid have confirmed their 24-man squad to face City. Madrid will to Manchester on Tuesday for the second leg of the Champions League semi-final with City a day later. It's a finely-poised tie after the first leg ended even with one goal apiece.

There was a worry for Madrid when Eduardo Camavinga went off with a knee complaint at the weekend. Ancelotti insisted it was not a problem and the teenager is also on the plane to England.

“He suffered a knock to his knee, but it’s 100 per cent stable," the manager said. "It’s nothing. It was just a knock and he’ll recover well.
