Premier League champions Manchester City are set to receive a boost in the coming days.

The Citizens are about to start preparations for their weekend game with West Ham United.

Now it appears, per the Manchester Evening News, that manager Pep Guardiola will be back in the UK.

Guardiola has been absent recently as he flew back to Spain for surgery on a back problem.

Having missed games against Sheffield United and Fulham in the Premier League, Guardiola is now raring to go.

The Spanish coach is back as the league gets back underway and the Champions League nears its return.
