Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola expects Raheem Sterling to be fit to face Champions League opponents Real Madrid on Wednesday.

The forward has been out for three weeks after injuring his hamstring in the defeat at Tottenham.

He returned to training on Friday but wasn't risked on Saturday as we won at Leicester, but afterwards Guardiola appeared confident the 25-year-old, who has scored 20 goals this season, will return to fold as we travel to the Bernabeu for the first leg of our Champions League last-16 tie.

“I think so - he's getting there," Guardiola said when asked if Sterling could face Los Blancos.

“This kind of injury is a little bit dangerous. He feels really well but the doctor says it's three weeks and we don't want to take a risk.

“We want for this game against Madrid and the second leg for him to be able to play.

“Without any chance to win the Premier League, it's better not to take a risk when we don't have to."

“Leicester are a very good team with a lot of quality… it was a tough game and we created chances."
