“It all depends on himself, his opinion and the doctors opinion. It could be 90 minutes or less.”

“He’s so young, at that age you can play every day!” added the City boss when speaking of Alvarez.
Starting Manchester City XI (4-3-3): Ederson; Akanji, Stones, Ake, Cancelo; Rodri, De Bruyne, Gundogan; Grealish, Alvarez, Silva
