FIFA Club World Cup: Pep Guardiola says he hopes that Phil Foden will be in contention for the start of the Premier League season but wants to be careful with the return of Rodri.

Both players stayed behind in Manchester as City travelled to Palermo for Saturday’s Anglo Palermitan Trophy.

Rodri missed the majority of last season after suffering a knee injury – returning to feature in the final two games of the campaign before heading to the FIFA Club World Cup.
