Fernandinho, John Stones Out for Manchester City vs. Watford, Says Pep Guardiola

Fernandinho and John Stones are both set to be absent for Manchester City's Premier League clash with Watford at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday, according to manager Pep Guardiola.

Stones, along with Kevin De Bruyne, had to be substituted in the Sky Blues' 1-0 win at Bournemouth last time out, and Fernandinho has missed City's last two matches.

Guardiola also said Aymeric Laporte remains a major doubt, while De Bruyne was already expected to be absent after picking up a hamstring problem against the Cherries:
