Nathan Ake is back training on the grass and Guardiola expects the Dutchman to be available after the international break.

The centre-back hasn’t been seen in action since sustaining a thigh problem whilst playing for the Netherlands.

Ake had to be substituted just before halftime during the 2-2 draw against Germany in the Nations League last month.


Guardiola says Ake generally needs more time than others to find peak fitness but he should, at least, make the bench for the trip to Molineux in a fortnight.

Expected Return Date: Sunday 20th October v Wolves (a)
