I'm so confident and I'm so delighted with the three and a half years we've had together," Guardiola said. "He is one of the greatest players this club has had in its whole history." Fernandinho has switched to defence this season after the departure of Vincent Kompany and then injury to Aymeric Laporte left Guardiola short at the back. Guardiola said Laporte, who has been out since August with a knee injury, is now nearing a return.
