De Bruyne and Aguero in contention for Man City return but Pep reveals he's sweating over John Stones

The striker has missed three games and Manchester City have been without the Belgian since November 1.

City are heading into the festive fixtures with a injury-struck side, but the boss has revealed he will not sign anyone new in January.

Aguero has been stuck on the sidelines since the 2-2 Champions League draw with Lyon after he suffered a muscle injury.

But Guardiola confirmed in a pre-match press conference: "He did did the last two training sessions. On Thursday he trained with the team.

"He has no pain and we will decide."

And the 47-year-old hinted that De Bruyne could fit to feature at the Etihad following his recovery from a knee injury.

He said: "Kevin trained quite well with no pain – we'll see."

But he is sweating over the fitness of John Stones after he was hauled off against Hoffenheim with a knee problem.

Guardiola added: "Yesterday he was in treatment. Today he is in training.

"We will see how they feel because when you have just 60 hours of recovery [it is difficult]. We will see."

When asked if he would sign anyone new in the upcoming transfer window, he replied: "No, we are not going to sign anyone."
