Man City boss Guardiola happy to count on Fernandinho for Wolves clash

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is happy to count on Fernandinho for their clash with Wolves.

Fernandinho is set to continue in central defence for City alongside Nicolas Otamendi, with John Stones and Aymeric Laporte still out injured.

It will be the 34-year-old Brazil midfielder's third game in just over a week, but Guardiola is confident he can handle it.

He said: "He didn't have many minutes in his legs before these three games. Except the last part of last season - in the previous seasons - he's played every three days over 11 months.

"So I think he can do it."
