Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is delighted with the progress of Philippe Sandler.

Former PEC defender Sandler was on the bench for this week's Carabao Cup quarterfinal win over Leicester City.

"We were planning to take him on tour for preseason, but unfortunately he came to us with injuries," said Guardiola.

"He has started training again in recent months and I have to say that he played's awesome with the youngsters. It is not easy if you go back to a second team or a team of youngsters, but he has helped his teammates a lot and that says a lot.

"We will now decide what is best for him, for the club and for his future perspective."
