Overview
- Pep Guardiola said Rodri is improving from a calf issue but has not rejoined training, leaving his status for Everton unclear.
- Ruben Dias is ruled out of the Everton match and has yet to train with the squad, though Guardiola said he is getting better.
- Josko Gvardiol is building back from a tibia fracture and surgery in January, with Everton expected to come too soon for him.
- John Stones is fit to play and Guardiola expects him to help during the run-in.
- City face six matches in 21 days, including the FA Cup final on May 16, and they trail Arsenal by three points with a game in hand, so player availability could shape the title finish.
