Rodri missed the Wolves game because of an injury he sustained at the FIFA Club World Cup.

The Spaniard played just three league games last season after suffering a knee injury against Arsenal, returning for the penultimate match of the campaign.

Guardiola insisted he is not worried about a drop in performance levels from Rodri, but wants to see him play more regularly going forward.

“Rodri and Phil [Foden] were not available for the last game, they were out but it was just because of a lack of training, they are ready for tomorrow,” he said.

“I just want consistency with Rodri. I don't have any doubts about his potential or his ability. Still, so far, he is the best player in the world.

“The consistency will come with training and games, training and games, week after week and after that everything will be fine.”
