Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola says Julian Alvarez is now "undroppable.

Guardiola was speaking after victory over West Ham.

"We had doubts because he came from Bolivia with the jet lag, he was so tired the day before yesterday," said Guardiola. "He felt better and we spoke with him last night and he said he felt good.

"He's learning a lot how to move in the pockets, he's a threat with goals and assists, the work ethic. We are delighted that the club brought him last year.

"[Ilkay] Gundo[gan] left and unfortunately with the injury to Kevin [De Bruyne] he has his chance and he is using it. Now he is almost undroppable."
