However, the Catalonian remained coy on Kyle Walker’s injury status. The 32-year-old England international faces a race against time to be fit for next month’s FIFA World Cup after undergoing groin surgery earlier this month.
Speaking ahead of City’s game with Albion, Guardiola said: "John has been training the last two days, tomorrow on the [squad] list [against Brighton]. Kalvin is recovering really well.
"I didn’t speak with doctors about Kyle. Hopefully they can help him."
