Press Conference: Pep Guardiola on De Bruyne injury, Ederson, Torres goal and more

Manchester City are set to face Brighton on Tuesday, as the Premier League action resumes. Ahead of the match head coach Pep Guardiola has talked to the press and here is what he said.

On Ferran Torres' hat-trick vs Newcastle:

"The goal was so nice, difficult execution. Skill, talent and action. Ferran has always had the ability and showed in training. He's already had the ability. His pace, quality and decision making is always good."   "There's three games left, we use him in that position because quite long periods Sergio and Gabriel were injured and some games we needed a proper striker. We used him and he played well. His position is a winger but it's an alternative we have. He can play both sides, in the middle, we have players who can play in different positions."
On Kevin De Bruyne's future:
"Yeah, he's training the last two days and he feels good." "Kev is important like everyone is. The fact when we are able to stick together and be able to push each other will be possible to win it. Kevin is important everyone knows it but everyone is at the same level, we will see his level and see if he is fit to play."
On focus to CL final:
"We will have six days after Everton to prepare for the final and we'll think about it then. We can't prepare well if we aren't prepared for Brighton and Everton. Tomorrow we are going to play a game to win again, it’s the best way to arrive for the final. Final five or six games will be more focused for Chelsea."
On pressure after being crowned champions:
"We've spoke. We try to focus them. I told them to forget the football and enjoy with family and friends getting to the final. We came back here and they're focused, they train really good. The game against Newcastle we were relaxed, we've had two days off and we're focused. We'll play this game and prepare for the final. I have no doubts these players are incredible and ready to do what they need to do in the three games left."
On Riyad Mahrez improvement:
"Riyad always was at a good level, maybe in the beginning he didn't play much because we had a structure but step by step he gained his position. Lately he has been playing really well, hopefully he can maintain this level next season."
Ederson to return:
"Ederson is going to play the next two games."
