    Manuel Pellegrini has given an update on Vincent Kompany's fitness and confirmed Joe Hart will not be in goal for the League Cup game at Everton tomorrow. City trail 2-1 after the first leg.

    "I think Vincent Kompany will return in a couple of weeks," says Pellegrini.

    "We are doing all we can, sending him to different places and doctors to try and make sure it doesn't happen because it is very sad for him not to play.

    "Willy Caballero will probably start the next two games. One of the important reasons why Joe Hart improves a lot is because he has competition. Willy deserves to play these games."

    Well, well. The Mirror are reporting that Corinthians have agreed to loan striker Pato to Chelsea for six months.

    A move for Pato could make Chelsea more willing to let Loic Remy return to Newcastle after a successful loan spell there in 2013-14.

    'Any news on the transfer front?' Martinez is asked 

    "There is nothing to mention at the moment," says the boss, then, as the journalist starts a follow-up question, Martinez adds "That's nothing to mention either in or out."

    "So that answers your next question," adds Martinez.

  20. Roberto Martinez news conference

    Man City v Everton (Wed, 19:45 GMT)

    Stones

    Next up Roberto Martinez defends John Stones, who was criticised for his defensive display in the weekend defeat to Swansea.

    "John is 21. He has played 68 games in the Premier league. Never assess a player till they have 100 starts, then you can judge them," says the boss.

    "He has incredible potential but he is still a young man.

    "Whatever the judgement from the outside, we accept it, that is part of the game, but I think Stones is in the right pace to fulfill is potential and become one of the greatest players England has ever seen,"

    Bold words, do you agree Everton fans?
