Manchester City's pair of Nico Gonzalez and Savinho are uncertain for this weekend's Premier League match against Chelsea.

City's manager, Pep Guardiola, had to make early substitutions during their 0-0 draw with Sunderland on New Year’s Day.

Doku, who was returning from an injury himself, came on for Savinho, while Gonzalez was replaced by Rodri.

“Savinho doesn’t seem to be in good shape. We'll see about Nico,” Guardiola stated.

Guardiola also encouraged his players to overcome the disappointment of the result as they prepare for a significant match on Sunday.

“The players are a bit downcast, but we need to lift our spirits because in three days we face a tough game against Chelsea,” he remarked.
