Manchester City will get a boost with the return of Phil Foden and Manuel Akanji for their home game against Fulham on Saturday, but assistant manager Juanma Lillo was keeping his cards close to his chest over Friday's transfer deadline activity.
City completed the signing of Portugal midfielder Matheus Nunes from Wolverhampton Wanderers on a five-year contract early on Friday, but the 25-year-old was not scheduled to train, casting doubt on whether he would be available.
City have picked up where they left off last season, winning all three games to top the Premier League table, despite missing Akanji in their 2-1 win at Sheffield United on Sunday with a minor issue. "Phil is completely recovered from his illness, Manu's problem was more for prevention rather than anything serious," said Lillo, who added John Stones is also nearing a return.
"You can ask me but I can't give an answer," he told reporters on Friday. "I have nothing to add, I've been in training. I have nothing I can help you with the question.""It's very difficult to go against a player's wishes," Lillo said. "When a player wants to go, it is very difficult to go against that. We have to work out the operation that has value for the club as well.
