Pep Offers Injury Update on De Bruyne and Ake

Pep Guardiola says Kevin De Bruyne and Nathan Ake are unavailable for Sunday's Premier League return against Wolves.

De Bruyne has been out for a month after being forced off with a groin injury during our Champions League game against Internazionale.

Ake, meanwhile, has been sidelined since injuring his thigh in September while on international duty with the Netherlands.

Speaking to the media at Friday's pre-match press conference, the City manager gave the latest on the pair and also gave an update on the availability of the rest of his squad.

"I don't think so. No, I'm not ready,” said Pep.

"They are training and yesterday Nathan had his first training session with the team. Maybe he can travel, but to start, he is not ready.

Wolves have had a difficult start to the season, with Gary O'Neil's side sitting last with just one point to their name.
