Pep Guardiola declared that Manchester City’s stars are finally back firing during training after a prolonged malaise.
The City boss, who is hopeful Erling Haaland will prove his fitness for Wednesday’s clash at Arsenal after picking up a thigh problem during yesterday’s victory over Aston Villa, has been critical of his squad since the World Cup.
Guardiola has not seen the focus and desire required during training, with City having lost three times in January, and made several references to the body language of his players.
‘The way we have been in the training over the last week or 10 days, we have improved a lot,’ said Guardiola.
