Five Manchester City players are unavailable for their Premier League match at Chelsea on Sunday following positive coronavirus tests.
Kyle Walker, Gabriel Jesus and three unnamed players are in isolation.
“I don’t think the Premier League allow us to name the players but you will know [on Sunday],” Guardiola said.
City’s game at Everton on 28 December was called off following the positive tests but the rest of the first-team bubble has since tested negative.
Guardiola said City had enough players to play at Goodison Park but the match was postponed because the tests results were returned earlier the same day.
“We wanted to play but on the day of the game, with more cases, we informed the Premier League,” Guardiola said.
“I personally called (Everton manager) Carlo Ancelotti to explain the situation because the day before we were in touch about what would happen and the huge risk.”
Chelsea winger Hakim Ziyech could make his first appearance since
suffering a hamstring injury in early December against Leeds at Stamford Bridge.
Defender Reece James will definitely miss the game because of a similar problem.
