“Today it was massively important to have him with the team,” Guardiola said.
“We have one week to think about it. The truth it’s been five or six weeks off not like Phil (Foden) or Savinho who need two or three sessions. He needs maybe more time.
“He did well to play 97 minutes. I could not expect that much. We need him.”
