Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has responded to talks of reuniting with Raheem Sterling, who wants to leave Chelsea.
Blues manager Enzo Maresca revealed this week that Sterling will not get any gam time this season.
The England international has since been linked with a number of clubs in the English top flight, including Aston Villa.

City re-signed Ilkay Gundogan on Friday, but there will be no reunion with Sterling before Friday's deadline.
"He's a Chelsea player, absolutely. I feel so attached to the time we lived together with Raheem [Sterling], and Enzo [Maresca]" Guardiola told reporters when asked about a potential reunion.
"So I just wish him all the best, but he's of course, a Chelsea player."
Guardiola also added that the club is unlikely to bringing in a new season before the transfer window closes.
"I don't know. I don't think so," he added.
"I don't know what's going to happen, maybe something happens in terms of injuries – hopefully not – or the market provides something unexpected that financially suits, or tactically. Right now I don't think so."
