Pep Guardiola “really impressed” by Burnley

Toure could also return to Guardiola’s Champions League squad, for the knock-out phase of the tournament – having been left out of his initial squad selection for the group stages.

After going down after 20 minutes thanks to a 15-yard strike by forward Raffael,Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City were able to fight back before the break.

De Bruyne told City TV: “It gives them more time to rest obviously”.

Gladbach were reduced to 10 men early in the second half when captain Lars Stindl was sent off following a second booking but City’s Fernandinho also saw red 12 minutes later.

The draw, coupled with Barcelona’s 2-0 victory over Scottish champions Celtic in Glasgow, confirmed City’s passage to the tournament’s knockout phase for the fourth successive season, although progression as group winners is now out of reach.

Guardiola is bracing himself for a tough test against Sean Dyche’s team, who have proved hard opponents for top teams.

Kompany came off the field in City’s win last weekend with a concussion.

Manager Pep Guardiola said Argentina forward Aguero ended the 1-1 midweek Champions League draw at Borussia Monchengladbach “not injured, but with a little problem in his foot”.

“There will be nearly no training for the game at Burnley, but we will try to be there and have a good performance”. “(City) are a fantastic team. The Bundesliga outfit have continuously failed to capitalise on good starts as a result of undisciplined and inconsistent performances.

Manchester City will travel to Turf Moor to take on Burnley on Saturday. Creating numerous chances on goal, City only managed a single goal.

Pep Guardiola insists he will need every player in his squad as he embarks on a busy schedule in the Premier League.

“It’s something we can learn from and we want to improve”, said Arsenal’s Kieran Gibbs. Barcelona won 2-0.

Last season has been the worst on record for Kompany since his arrival at the club in 2008 as he featured just 22 times in total.

In defence, Michael Keane and Ben Mee have been at centre-back for the last few games, and the manager is unlikely to make any changes in that department.

He said: ‘It’s always hard after the Champions League game because of the travel.

“We know the super-powers of the division and these are definitely one of them”. Gladbach are third on five, three ahead of the Scottish champions.

Manchester City have scored the highest tally (15) and proportion (56%) of their goals away from home in the Premier League this season.
