Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has been speaking to the media before Saturday's FA Cup game against Salford City at Etihad Stadium (kick-off 15:00 GMT).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
- Erling Haaland's fitness is to be assessed as he is "not 100%" but it is "not a big issue", despite him being withdrawn in the midweek victory over Fulham.
- John Stones last played on 2 December in a 5-4 win at Fulham but after "two or three training sessions", Guardiola said: "We will see tomorrow if he plays or how many minutes he plays."
- Guardiola says his "priority" is to beat Salford, adding his players are "so exhausted" and "we can have a break after tomorrow".
- On facing the League Two side, he said: "I try to knuckle into the mind of the players that nothing is for granted and that everything is difficult."
- Guardiola praised Bernardo Silva - who is out of contract ths summer - for leading by example, but says he has no clarity on what the midfielder's future holds and has asked him to inform him when there is clarity.
- Guardiola was asked about controversial and widely criticised comments made by Manchester United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe: "I have a huge appreciation for Sir Jim. He has apologised but I won't comment on what he had to say. We have a problem which all the countries have about treating people from other countries. We have no difference to where we have been born. I think everyone deserves a chance to have an opportunity for a better life. Sometimes those opportunities are where you are born, sometimes you have to travel. Because I am Catalan does not make me think I am better than you. I grew up and met incredibly nice people but don't make me feel bad for being from somewhere else. We need to embrace other cultures."
