Bravo, Claudio! Man City's beleaguered keeper gets backing from Chile boss Pizzi

He may have fallen out of favour with Pep Guardiola at the Etihad Stadium, but the South American remains the undisputed number one for his country

Claudio Bravo may have lost his spot as Manchester City's number-one goalkeeper, but his importance to Chile is "undisputed" according to national team boss Juan Antonio Pizzi.

Bravo has attracted his fair share of criticism for a number of below-par performances under Pep Guardiola, and has not featured in the Premier League since January 21.

But he is expected to take his place as Chile's number one for their upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Argentina and Venezuela, with Pizzi lending his support to the goalkeeper in Tuesday's media conference.
