Pep Guardiola has revealed Manchester City starlet Nico O'Reilly will be fit to face Arsenal in this weekend's crucial Premier League clash. The country has been eagerly anticipating the potential title decider against the Gunners this weekend.
With Arsenal recently faltering, the Cityzens are the narrow favourites heading into the contest at the Etihad Stadium. However, the Catalan will not have his full squad, as experienced central defender Ruben Dias will miss the clash with injury.
He was absent from the recent 3-0 away victory over Chelsea after picking up a hamstring injury before the match. While Guardiola and City fans will be disappointed to not have Dias, they will be thrilled O'Reilly has recovered from his knock.
The 21-year-old has emerged as one of City's most important players this season. As well as impressing with his defensive performances, he has also contributed many vital goals.
Most significantly, he scored a surprising brace against this weekend's opponents in the League Cup final and also headed in the first goal against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. When asked about his side's injuries, Guardiola said: "Ruben is not ready and Nico is fine."
