Reliable source @mcfc_lads just dropped a major update on Manchester City‘s squad. Based on Pep Guardiola’s Friday press conference, the medical team will check on Bernardo Silva during Saturday’s training session. They need to see if he is ready to play. On top of that, Rúben Dias is back with the group, while John Stones continues to progress step by step as he works his way back.

This update comes only a day before City head to Anfield. They take on Liverpool in a massive Premier League showdown on February 8, 2026. Guardiola sounds cautious about Stones, but he has given fans hope regarding Dias. The defender was already on the bench against Newcastle United earlier this week.
