Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has refused to rule out loan moves for youngsters Phil Foden and Brahim Diaz this summer.
The pair were in the starting line-up as City kicked off their pre-season with a 1-0 defeat to Borussia Dortmund in Chicago on Saturday morning.
However, having only played a handful of games between them last season, they could be set for loan spells to gain more experience.
“We will decide on them at the end of pre-season,” Guardiola told Sky Sports.
“As soon as people come back we will know what we need for the games against Chelsea (in the Community Shield) and Arsenal.
