Pep Guardiola on Man City's Walker, Stones, Foden, Rodri's availability vs. Chelsea: “I don't know... Just two or three training sessions. They arrived fit, in good shape. Today, in the professional world, the players take care of themselves even on holidays.”
Pep Guardiola: “We'll see, today, tomorrow, and Sunday we'll see the line-up. I'm pretty sure they're ready, maybe not for 90 minutes, maybe yes, or maybe for a few minutes. What's important is everybody is back.”
Pep Guardiola on Kalvin Phillips: “It looks like he's going on loan to Ipswich, and yeah, I think it's close. I don't think it's already done, you never know until it happens, but apparently he decided to go there.”
Pep Guardiola on whether Man City will sign more players this summer: “Maybe... or maybe not! We'll see... I'm really pleased with the squad we have. I know the vibe is, 'We have to sign! We have to sign!' We will see.”
Pep Guardiola: “I'm really pleased with the squad I have, with the players I have, and we will see what happens in the market. We can continue until the end in that way, or maybe we will add some players, we will see. I cannot answer you right now.”
Pep Guardiola on Joao Cancelo: “He's training with us. We will see [on his future]. Maybe he stays at Man City, maybe he goes on loan, maybe... I don't know yet, he's training with us, behaving really well in the training session, he loves to play football, he loves to train.”
Pep Guardiola: “We prioritize rest, absolutely. I would love to give them more, more [holiday] time, but it is what it is.”
Pep Guardiola: “I have learned in my experience from many years at Man City, the season is soooooo long.”
Pep Guardiola on why Kalvin Phillips has struggled at Man City: “He has to have minutes, he has to recover game time, play, play, play, play. And we thought that maybe he would not have the minutes he would have, that he deserves to have.”

Pep Guardiola on Joao Cancelo: “In training we say 'hi', we talk, and trained. That's all. About what's going to happen, it depends on his agent and the club. And at the end, if he has to stay, we will treat him like all the other players we have done since I've been here.”

Pep Guardiola on Enzo Maresca's Man City past having an influence on @Chealsea: “It's a Chelsea team, it's not a Man City team, it's a @Chealsea team with his ideas and what he has to do.”
Pep Guardiola on Enzo Maresca: “My advice; give him time. If they, the owners of Chelsea, accept my advice, GIVE HIM TIME... And it will work. All the managers need time. I don't know if Chelsea is the place to do this, but give him time and he will work, this is my feeling.”
Pep Guardiola on @Chealsea's market activity: “All the time people judge Man City, I'll not be the first to say what others do. They can do what they believe is the best for the team. I'm pretty sure they do it. But if you see the squad depth, more than 40 players... It's a lot!”
