Sergio Aguero and Kevin De Bruyne are in contention to return for Manchester City this weekend against Everton.

Pep Guardiola, the City manager, confirmed on Friday that the pair were training without pain after recovering from injury.

De Bruyne, City’s outstanding player of last season, has made just three league appearances for City this term after suffering two separate knee ligament injuries.

Aguero, meanwhile, has missed City’s last four games with a groin injury and neither player was available for Wednesday night’s Champions League victory over Hoffenheim at the Etihad.

However, Guardiola believes both could recover in time to play a part when Marco Silva’s Everton visit on Saturday.

“[Aguero] did the last two training sessions, we did the last training session yesterday,” he said. “He has no pain. We are going to decide.”

On De Bruyne, Guardiola added: “Same as Sergio. No pain yesterday and we’ll see.”

John Stones came off with a knee injury against Hoffenheim and will be assessed before a decision on his involvement against Everton is made.

City will be without David Silva, who is sidelined with a hamstring problem, while Fernandinho remains a doubt with a thigh injury.

“Yesterday he was in treatment. Today he is in training,” Guardiola said.

“We train at 4pm and we’ll see how they feel, when you have just 60 hours to recover between the games, we will see.”
