Manchester City youngster Kelechi Iheanacho won't miss any action after shaking off an apparent calf injury.
The 19-year-old was stretchered off the pitch toward the end of Wednesday's Champions League qualifier against Steaua Bucharest, but manager Pep Guardiola told reporters Friday that Iheanacho is already back in training.
"No injuries from midweek. Kelechi was almost nothing so it was a scare, but he's fine," said the Spaniard. "Everybody's fit and ready - we trained with 30 players today."
Iheanacho is expected to build on last season's breakout performances, although he's yet to start a competitive match under Guardiola.
Last week, the Nigeria international extended his contract with the Citizens until June 2021.
