Man City boss Guardiola: Foden fit for Bayern Munich

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola says Phil Foden is fit to face Bayern Munich.

City are in Munich defending a 3-0 aggregate lead for the second-leg of their Champions League quarterfinal.

Foden has been sidelined since midway through the March international break after undergoing surgery for appendicitis.

“We're delighted (he is back)" Guardiola revealed.

“Definitely it's good news for us. He has trained just once yesterday but we decided he would travel with us and be on the bench.

“(How minutes he is capable of) I don't know. 90 for sure no. But his physicality is special.

“He is a special player who doesn't need a lot of training sessions to be fit.

“But he's important - not just for tomorrow, but for the tight schedule we have ahead of us."
