(Reuters) - Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola said Algeria international Riyad Mahrez will not be involved in Saturday's Premier League trip to Southampton after being given a week off following his team's early exit from the Africa Cup of Nations.

Algeria captain Mahrez, 30, missed a penalty in Thursday's 3-1 defeat by Ivory Coast as the holders crashed out in the group stage of the tournament in Cameroon.

Guardiola added Nathan Ake will be back in the squad but Oleksandr Zinchenko will remain absent, after both players missed last week's win over Chelsea. Ralph Hasenhuettl's Southampton, who held City to a goalless draw earlier this season, have won only five times so far but Guardiola heaped praise on his counterpart and opponents ahead of the match.
