Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola spoke to the press ahead of the team's upcoming FA Cup semi-final match against Nottingham Forest. The match will decide if City can reach their third consecutive FA Cup final. Despite being knocked out of every other cup competition this season, City has made history by reaching the semi-finals for the seventh year in a row.

Guardiola mentioned that goalkeeper Ederson has returned to training, but it's unclear if he'll be fit to play on Sunday. The manager doesn't have any other injury concerns, which is a relief for City fans.

Guardiola sees an advantage in Forest's rare participation in this stage of the competition. "We have a tough rival in Nottingham Forest," he said. "It's been a long time since they've played in the FA Cup semi-finals, but we've been there many times."

Guardiola also spoke about midfielder Rodri, who is recovering from an injury. Despite not playing, Rodri continues to be involved with the team and help his teammates. "I love that," Guardiola said. "It's something special when injured players help each other."

Regarding Rodri's potential return, Guardiola stressed that he won't rush the process. "I'll follow the doctor's orders," he said. "Every training session he does, he does well, but I don't know if he'll play again this season."

Forward Erling Haaland is also recovering from an injury and doesn't have a return date yet. "He feels better, but it's not a comfortable injury," Guardiola said. "He's getting better step by step, but he's not training with the team yet."

Guardiola believes that winning the FA Cup would be less damaging to the club than not winning it. "We have to make the final first," he said. "Winning the FA Cup would keep us safe, but the Premier League is the most important competition."

Finally, Guardiola expressed his respect for Nottingham Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo. "He's done a really good job," Guardiola said. "He's brought in top players and the team has a good spirit and defends well."
