I'M HAPPY WITH WHAT WE HAVE! PLAYERS COMING BACK! 😊 | Pep Guardiola EMBARGO | Sunderland v Man City

Embargoed pre-match press conference with Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola ahead of Sunderland v Manchester City in the Premier League.

Guardiola says he is happy with the current size of his squad and insists the January transfer window is not a focus while it remains closed, stressing that decisions are always taken collectively by the club. He explains that when results are not good he looks first at himself and the team, and reflects on how injuries last season forced unexpected changes during a demanding schedule.

The City boss speaks about the long absence of Rodri, admitting it has been extremely difficult to cope without such an important figure, while saying his priority is seeing him return step by step with the right feeling and joy. He also confirms Jeremy Doku is progressing and speaks positively about the academy and the depth available within the squad.

Guardiola congratulates Arsenal after watching their recent match, discusses how the congested run of fixtures will define Champions League qualification and league position, addresses questions around long throws and set pieces, and reiterates that he has no new information regarding the Premier League charges, adding that he would like clarity but has nothing to update.
