Turin, Italy ¨C Manchester City¡¯s Phil Foden and Mateo Kovacic returned to training on Tuesday, but manager Pep Guardiola said if the two feature at Juventus on Wednesday, it will be for only a few minutes, as City¡¯s injury troubles show little sign of abating.
City takes on the Italian side in the Champions League and, sitting 17th in the table before this week¡¯s slate of games kicked off, Guardiola¡¯s struggling team have three games left to clinch a top-eight spot that would earn a last-16 place and avoid a playoff.
Foden is back training after missing two games with bronchitis while Kovacic has been absent since the last international break due to injury.
