What's on the agenda today?

Pep will give the early team news and any injury updates this afternoon, but he's also likely to spend a lot of today's media duties talking about Bernardo Silva.

Guardiola has made no secret of his love for Bernardo, and no player has played more games under the Catalan than him.

Get the tissues ready, today could be an emotional one.
