Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola believes new signing Manuel Akanji is ready to make his debut for the club.
Akanji joined the Premier League champions from Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund last week.
The centre-back will be in City’s travelling party for Tuesday’s Champions League group stage opener against Sevilla.

Asked whether the defender would travel to Andalusia, the boss responded: “I think so. He feels good.
“He couldn’t be here [against Aston Villa] because he had a baby born, so congratulations to him, his wife and family.
“[But] he is ready, he came back really well from Dortmund.
“He’s trained one day. Friday afternoon he flew to his wife.
“I think today [Saturday] or tomorrow [Sunday] he is coming back to Manchester.”

Who is this guy, He sounds like one of us. If he is a Nigerian, tell us what is being done to bring him over to play for Nigeria before anyone else lay claim to taking him over.
He is an established player for the Swiss national team…..He is of Nigerian origin
@Edoman,
He is full International with Switzerland. Has represented the Swiss at senior level with 41 caps. Too late
