"Today he trained again. What we want is for him to feel a good feeling in his knee," Guardiola told a news conference before the team's departure to Greece.

"I know it's not his injury but we wait for him and there is still time, we have many games to play and we will need him. We want him in the best condition."

The Spaniard said almost all his players, including Fernandinho and Benjamin Mendy, were fit for the clash with only Nathan Ake set to start training on Friday after a thigh injury.

City have a perfect record in Group C after three games and Guardiola said Wednesday's clash offered them the opportunity to return to winning ways and take a step towards the next phase of the competition.

"At the same time we know how difficult it is and if we're able to get results we travel to Porto and then have (Olympique de) Marseille here. One step at a time but at the same time to recover, to come back and create good feelings."
