Pep Guardiola has confirmed that Raheem Sterling is fit enough to feature in Manchester City's match against Fulham this weekend.
The former Liverpool star missed England's recent games against Spain and Switzerland because of a back injury.
Sterling has scored twice in three Premier League starts for City so far this term and is available at 4/6 to score at any time against the Cottagers.
"He's fit. In the last days [in training] he has been better," Guardiola revealed.
Sterling has less than two years of his City contract left and Guardiola hopes he signs a new long-term deal with last season's Premier League champions.
"It's well known that we are delighted with him and want him to continue," the former Barcelona and Bayern Munich manager added.
"The club asked me my opinion about that, we shared that. And after that it is the club and Raheem's agent. I am outside. I am not involved.
"Sometimes this kind of thing needs its own time. The important thing is Raheem and his people know how delighted we are with him.
"After that maybe it will happen, maybe not."
City are available at 4/6 to win the Premier League title again this season.
