Pep Guardiola says Manuel Akanji is ready for his Manchester City debut.

The German centre-back, signed from Borussia Dortmund last week, will be in City's travelling party for Tuesday's Champions League group stage opener against Sevilla.

Asked whether the defender would travel to Andalusia, the boss responded: "I think so. He feels good.

"He couldn't be here [against Aston Villa] because he had a baby born, so congratulations to him, his wife and family.

"[But] he is ready, he came back really well from Dortmund.

"He's trained one day. Friday afternoon he flew to his wife.

"I think today [Saturday] or tomorrow [Sunday] he is coming back to Manchester."
