Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has delivered a positive team update ahead of this weekend's FA Community Shield match against Manchester United. In a press conference, Guardiola announced that both goalkeeper Ederson and backup keeper Stefan Ortega Moreno will be available for selection after they recovered from minor injuries.
Guardiola expressed his relief at having a fully fit squad at his disposal, allowing him to field his strongest possible team in the season curtain-raiser. "It's a big relief to have both Ederson and Ortega available," Guardiola said. "They are both important players for us, and their presence gives us more options."
The Community Shield match, scheduled to be held on Saturday, August 10, will be the first competitive fixture of the 2023/24 season in England. Manchester City will be looking to claim their third consecutive Shield victory, while Manchester United will be eager to add to their 21 titles in the competition.
With a full squad at his disposal, Guardiola will have several tactical options available. The Spaniard is known for his attacking philosophy, and he is likely to field a team with plenty of attacking talent. Manchester City will be confident of victory and will be determined to start the season with a trophy.
