City’s Alvarez stance
Guardiola is said to want Alvarez as part of his City squad for next season, Manchester Evening News report.
“He’s absolutely our player,” the Spaniard said after the friendly win over Chelsea.
“He will come back. I count on him. But he said in the news and decisions will be made all together. Now has to rest and when he feels ready to come back he will come back.
“I’m sure when he comes back I’ll hug and congratulate for the Copa America, for the Olympics, and we will start to work together. This is the reality.
“What happens in the meantime, I have a thousand million things to think about the team , if we are ready. Next week we play for the first trophy of the season. Two weeks we play at Stamford Bridge again, that’s my only concern.”
