The duo participated in Tuesday's session, raising hopes of their involvement in Wednesday's crucial match in Turin. Mateo Kovacic has been sidelined since mid-November after suffering a muscle injury while on international duty with Croatia.
The midfielder¡s absence has been felt in City's engine room, but his return to full training suggests he could feature in some capacity against the Italian giants.
Phil Foden, meanwhile, has endured a frustrating spell on the sidelines since 1st December. Initially recovering from a knock, the England international has also battled respiratory illnesses in recent weeks. Pep Guardiola has taken a cautious approach with his recovery, but the winger's return to training is a positive sign for the Sky Blues.
Both players' availability would be a significant boost for the Spanish boss as City aim to bounce back from their recent struggles. With a tough test awaiting them in Italy, their potential returns add depth and creativity to the squad as they look to secure a vital result in the European competition.
