Manchester City star David Silva is fit to face Huddersfield on Sunday after stepping up his recovery from a leg injury.
The Spaniard missed Citys 2-0 win against Arsenal last Sunday after staff deemed him unfit for the clash at the Emirates.
The likes of Kyle Walker and Raheem Sterling were handed starting berths after just three days of pre-season training but Citys medical team wanted to take greater care with Silva given he is 32 years of age.
However, Guardiola has confirmed that Silva was able to participate in training this week.
He trained last two or three sessions really good, said Guardiola.
He had a problem with his leg for the Arsenal game but he has trained good in the last two or three days.
