Pep Guardiola says it's 'likely' that Kyle Walker and Kalvin Phillips will recover from their injuries in time to be ready for the World Cup.

The Manchester City duo are in a race against time to make Gareth Southgate's squad, with the England boss required to submit his squad by November 13.

Phillips who has only played 13 minutes of action this season, has been out since September with a shoulder injury, while Walker has not played since the Manchester derby last month due to a groin issue.
