Pep Guardiola insists his opinion of goalkeeper Claudio Bravo has not changed despite dropping him from his Manchester City side.
Bravo has struggled to impress at City since being controversially signed as a replacement for the abruptly-axed England number one Joe Hart earlier in the season.
The Chilean's disappointing form has led to him being left on the bench for City's last three games but Guardiola retains faith in the 33-year-old former Barcelona goalkeeper.
Guardiola said: "My opinion of Claudio remains the same. He's a top player, a top goalkeeper. He's one of the best in the world.
