Man City boss Guardiola welcomes back De Bruyne, Ederson

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is happy seeing the medical room clear ahead of the Champions League final.

Kevin De Bruyne is back in training after injury, which serves as a timely boost for City, while Guardiola confirmed Ederson will be back between the sticks after Scott Carson's surprise inclusion last week.

"We'll have six days to focus on the final after Everton," Guardiola said. "Now it is Brighton. You work to prepare for the final as good as possible.

"We won't be ready if we don't prepare for Brighton. I didn't speak one second about Chelsea. Tomorrow we'll play to win again and this is the best way to arrive to the final. In the six days, we'll be more focused on Chelsea.

"Kevin is important like everyone. When we are able to stick together and push each other, it will be possible to win it. Everyone is in the same level. We'll see what his level is, he's fit and ready to play."
