Guardiola provided updates on some key players who were absent from the last game. He confirmed that Rodri and Phil Foden, who were not available due to lack of training, are now ready to return to the team.

Guardiola also mentioned that Mateo Kovacic, Josko Gvardiol, and Savinho are the only players who will be missing from the squad.

The Spanish coach was asked about Tottenham manager Thomas Frank, who he believes needs time to prove himself. Guardiola thinks Frank is a top-class manager who can bring a new and interesting style of play to the team.

Guardiola is confident that his team is ready for a challenge, especially since Spurs have always been a tough opponent for City. He believes that the new season brings new opportunities and that his team is fresher than ever.

Guardiola also spoke highly of Rodri, calling him the "best player in the world." He hopes to see consistency from Rodri, who will be eased back into the team after a short absence.

Finally, Guardiola was asked about James Trafford's chances of starting the game over Ederson. He mentioned that the decision will be made either tonight or tomorrow after dinner, but expressed his happiness with Trafford's performance and the energy he brings to the team.
