Former Barcelona head coach Guardiola travelled to Catalonia this week to attend Sergio Aguero’s retirement news conference at the Nou Camp.

If his PCR test comes back positive he will have to isolate for 10 days and miss the trip to St James’ Park on Sunday. But if it comes back negative, he can take charge of the team.
