Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola had little to say about Pedro Porro this week.

The City-owned defender has been outstanding for Sporting these past 18 months, playing his way into the Spain squad and being on track to sign permanently with the Portuguese giants.

Asked about Porro before last night's Champions League win against Sporting, Guardiola said: "I know him perfectly, but we have maybe 250 players on loan and I can't talk to them.

"I don't have time.

"I'm happy that things are going well for him and especially now I've seen many games he sometimes plays, sometimes he doesn't."
