After Halland’s injury and his exit against Borussia Dortmund due to a foot injury, Guardiola stated that he had every confidence that Julian Alvarez of Argentina would start against Leicester City if Halland was unavailable.
Pep continued, “Usually when Erling is not ready, Julian Alvarez will be my first choice. However, his fitness will be assessed in the major training of the match, to affirm that the Argentine striker’s opportunity to lead the offensive line during that battle is extremely strong.
” On the position of the injured, Kyle Walker and Calvin Phillips, he said: “Each of them is still in the recovery stage, and they will not be present in front of Leicester City, they feel better, but the participation will not be now, in front of them some time. ”
Regarding the Leicester squad, he said: “In the last four or five games, they only suffered one loss, which indicates that they are back to their previous level.

I love what Brendan Rodgers brings, especially after the rocky start. He demonstrated that he is fully aware of what needs to be done and was successful in getting the squad back on track.
Pep concluded his remarks by saying: “We always offer a good performance outside our stadium, even better than the matches on our stadium, but the season is still length, and there is a decline and a rise in the level, but we will work to maintain the title.
