Guardiola on Bobb's return, Haaland and 'home town' club Salford
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has been speaking to the media before Saturday's FA Cup third-round tie at home to League Two side Salford City (17:45).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
Guardiola said Ruben Dias "feels better but [is] not ready" and he is unsure when he will return, but Oscar Bobb is back in partial training and the broken bone in his foot has "healed".
He added: "Ederson is fine, but John Stones - no."
He did not comment on reported interest in Eintracht Frankfurt and Egypt forward Omar Marmoush: "I was clear in my answer - I'm not going to talk. He's a player from another club. I'm not saying an answer. I'm not going to answer one question [on transfers]."
Guardiola feels a connection to Saturday's opponents: "I've lived in Salford for the past eight years so I will be playing against my neighbourhood, my home town. The past six games, six clean sheets and six victories, so I have huge respect for them and what they do - the intensity - and we will take it seriously, like we always have done."
On the Class of 92's involvement at Salford: "I saw Gary Neville. I don't know all the other players involved but they are smart people, I'm sure of that, and when people from football run clubs they take smart decisions."
On Erling Haaland's fitness struggles: "This year, I had a feeling he is incredibly focused. When you have a focus and your target is to be fit, always you are fit. Our physio takes care of him really well. He spends a lot of time here - that's why he's ready. With the amount of situations we should use him more than we expect, but he handles it really well."
