Pep Guardiola has said he will select 10 new players to face Al Ain in Manchester City’s second Club World Cup group game on Sunday night, though Rodri and John Stones are not yet ready to start because of respective injury problems.

City face Al Ain at Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium at 9pm local time (2am BST) having beaten Wydad 2-0 in their opening Group G match. While goals from Phil Foden and Jérémy Doku beat the Moroccan team, Guardiola revealed only one player from the victory will be in Sunday’s XI.
