Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has confirmed Raheem Sterling is fit enough to face Real Madrid on Wednesday.

The England forward has been out since suffering a hamstring injury in the 2-0 defeat to Tottenham on February 2.

Speaking ahead of the last-16 first leg, to be played in Madrid, Guardiola said: "Raheem is fit.

"His physical condition and regeneration is amazing.

"He said he could have played against West Ham and Leicester but the doctor said it was too soon. But that was a good sign."
