Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has provided a fitness update on some of his injured players.

The likes of Aymeric Laporte, Fernandinho and Benjamin Mendy were not present for their Carabao Cup success over Manchester United.

City lost the game 1-0 on the night, but went through 3-2 on aggregate to play Aston Villa in the final on March 1.

Speaking about the trio of injured absentees, Guardiola said during his press conference: "Laporte and Ferna are not completely fit.

"Mendy neither. We'll see in the next days. I am pretty sure they will be OK for West Ham, but I don't know for Spurs.

"We don't want to take risks. Ferna has had a few problems,

"Laporte has not recovered from Sheffield United and Mendy is a bit better."
