Former England international Emile Heskey's sons, Reigan and Jaden Heskey, both made their senior debuts for Manchester City in their 2-0 Carabao Cup win over Huddersfield on Wednesday.
Nearly 10 years on from Emile Heskey's final first-team bow for Bolton Wanderers that saw him cap of a career that included spells at Liverpool and Leicester City as well as 62 England caps, Reigan, 17, and Jaden, 19, became the first set of brothers to play for City since Kolo and Yaya Touré.
"Today, six players from the academy made the starting XI," Guardiola said.
- Carabao Cup 4th round draw: Newcastle to host Tottenham
- First-month grades for all 20 Premier League teams: A+ to F
- Foden, Savinho score as Man City ease past Huddersfield
"Two more came on, the Heskey brothers. I think their father and mother will be so proud of their kids. That's really cool."
Both Reigan and Jaden have come through City's academy, regularly appearing for the club's Premier League 2 side. They have also played together in the UEFA Youth League.
