Kovacic picked up an injury on international duty with Croatia and will miss Saturday’s home Premier League match against Tottenham.

Guardiola explained: “Kovacic is injured. It will be a while. Three weeks or one months, more or less.”

In more positive news, the City head coach revealed some players injured before the international break have now returned to first-team action.

“Some of them, yes. John [Stones] trained good yesterday, Manu [Akanji] trained good yesterday, Nathan [Ake] is coming back to training. We didn’t have central defenders. Now we have three. Just Ruben [Dias] is out, but hopefully he’s coming back soon.

“I don’t know if they are ready to play 90 minutes or play from the beginning, but to see their faces is a really good boost for all of us.”
