He also had positive news on Mateo Kovacic, who is edging closer to a return but unlikely to be involved tomorrow.

However, he was less encouraging about Bernardo Silva's fitness.

The Portugal international was withdrawn in the first half against Red Star Belgrade on Tuesday and will join John Stones and Kevin De Bruyne on the sidelines against Forest.
