Nico O\u2019Reilly will be available for Manchester City\u2019s Premier League showdown against Arsenal on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The City academy graduate has been in wonderful form in recent weeks, scoring twice against the Gunners in the Carabao Cup final in March.<\/p>\n

After helping his side keep a clean sheet in the 4-0 thrashing of Liverpool in the FA Cup, the left-back was on the score sheet again last time out against Chelsea, scoring another header to spark a second-half drubbing of the Blues in west London.<\/p>\n

10 minutes after his goal against Chelsea, O\u2019Reilly went down clutching his left hamstring with Rayan Ait-Nouri brought onto replace him.<\/p>\n

\n

Pep Guardiola did not provide an update on the youngster\u2019s condition after that game. <\/p>\n

\n
\n

But speaking in his pre-match press conference on Friday, he told reporters his young star is \u2018fine\u2019 and available for selection. <\/p>\n

O\u2019Reilly has started 24 of City\u2019s Premier League matches this term, predominantly at left-back.<\/p>\n

    The Portugal international has missed City\u2019s last four games and remains unavailable this weekend with an ankle injury.<\/p>\n

    Josko Gvardiol remains a long-term absentee with doubts over the fitness of John Stones, who has been limited to just 15 appearances this season.<\/p>\n

    After Arsenal\u2019s slip-up against Bournemouth last weekend, a victory for City will see them reduce the gap at the summit of the Premier League to just three points.<\/p>\n

    Guardiola\u2019s side also have a game in hand still to play \u2013 against Crystal Palace on a date still to be confirmed. <\/p>\n
