The absence of 28 years has been cited as an important factor in the slowdown in champions of the Premier League in good shape this season.
City fell at 20 points behind the Liverpool leaders in the title race and was also dropped from the Champions League in the hands of Real Madrid before the final of 16.
Speaking at the beginning of the month, Guardiola said: “The most important thing for him is to recover well, he is not a teenager but he still has years to play and that will happen if he recovers well.”
On Saturday, City turns its attention to the fifth round of the FA Cup when they welcome the Plymouth Argyle championship, the team that eliminated Liverpool during the previous round.
