The Nigerian global looked to have picked up a hamstring injury, in their Champions League play-off victory over Steaua Bucuresti on Wednesday.
“If it doesn’t affect his pride, I think that would be a cracker for Sunderland, me”. “He’s a goalkeeper with a lot of experience in Spain and in the national team”.
Key Player: Sergio Aguero – The City goal machine has scored 37 goals in 47 Premier League games against London teams. “He’s a good player for us”.
The Chilean’s arrival from Barcelona was followed by City drawing the Catalan giants in the Champions League.
“It happened last season with Bayern Munich”. Guardiola is counting on that giving him a comfort level he didn’t have while with Bayern.
He said: “I can not deny this was special for me”.
However, former Reds boss Brendan Rodgers believes Hart would be a good fit for Liverpool.
West Ham United bounced back from their opening day defeat to pick up a late win over Bournemouth in their first league game at the London Stadium last time out.
Asked, during his presser ahead of City’s clash with West Ham, if the club would be making any more signings, he replied: “No chance”.
“Now we have one week and we have to make him [Hart] happy and if he can find a solution and find a club where he has a real chance to play regularly”.
“We still have one training session, but the situation is that after this game we have a couple of weeks and the temptation is not to play them because is it worth the risk?”
The City manager has opted to save the 33-year-old until the much-anticipated game against Jose Mourinho’s Manchester United, after the global break, on September 10.
On Nasri, Bony and Mangala, he added: “Maybe they stay, maybe they go”. We’re going to decide the best for Joe but for Willy and Angus as well.
“They’re going to be in rotation, part of that”.
