(Reuters) - Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has defended Fernandinho as the Brazilian midfielder prepares to return to the side following a four-game ban.
Fernandinho was sent off for the third time in his last six appearances during City's win over Burnley this month but returns to the squad for the Premier League game at West Ham United on Wednesday.
