Manchester City won their most recent Premier League match and are preparing for the next fixture, but first the team will have a Christmas break. Ahead of it, Guardiola explained his approach.
Details: The Manchester City head coach revealed that every player has already gone through a weigh-in and explained what will happen to those who return overweight.
Quote: “Yesterday every player went through a weight check. On the 25th I will be there and I will check them again. How many kilos each player has gained.
They can eat, but I want to control them. Imagine a player who is perfect right now comes back three kilos heavier. He will stay in Manchester. He will not travel to Nottingham Forest,” Guardiola said.
Manchester City’s next match will be against Nottingham Forest on Saturday, December 27. Kick-off is scheduled for 13:30 CET.
Reminder: Manchester City striker Erling Haaland scored another brace and overtook Cristiano Ronaldo in terms of Premier League goals, achieving this milestone in 122 fewer matches.
