Guardiola unconcerned by Bravo form

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is not concerned by the uncertain future of Claudio Bravo and talisman Sergio Aguero.

Despite Guardiola opting to start Willy Caballero for last week’s 2-1 victory over Swansea City, he insists his priority is his side’s visit to Bournemouth on Monday.

He said: “I am not thinking about things that are far away or individual players. The way that you have to play in the game [is what I am focusing on] to keep our rhythm going and our way of playing.

“It’s been much better in this last period that is what I feel and of course I have to try and get the players ready because we need all of them. That is all I am concerned about.”

City will travel to the south coast having won three of their last four Premier League outings, scoring nine goals in the process.

Although Guardiola has not confirmed who will start in goal at the Vitality Stadium, the Spaniard continued to sing the praises of goalkeeper Bravo.

“My opinion of Claudio remains the same,” he said.

“He is a top player. Football here is different but he is a top, top goalkeeper, no question, one of the best in the world.”
