But now it\u2019s an exceptional situation, we have a lot of players injured or with a lot of minutes in their legs.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;They have to rest. Wolves, Leipzig and Arsenal are much more important.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018The problem is the lack of rest &#8211; especially mentally. Two or three weeks off between seasons, it\u2019s nothing. The problem is a lack of rest, year on year. I complain a little bit here and then forget it.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Despite a squad that Guardiola claims is stretched, City are refusing to call upon players from the academy.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I don\u2019t want to take risks (but) some players who are maybe tired have to play,\u2019 he said. \u2018We sold a lot of players from the academy (in the summer). The ones we have are so young, so young to play Newcastle away.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018It is why we have to give time to them to develop. We cannot just bring them from the academy and play them there, no&#8230; we spoke with (sporting director) Txiki (Begiristain) and Brian (Barry-Murphy, Under-21 manager), they are not prepared right now.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/26\/20\/75863371-12563571-image-a-29_1695757639463.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Ruben Dias (right) and Kyle Walker (left) will be given the night off against the in-form Magpies<\/p>\n<h3>IT&#8217;S ALL KICKING OFF!\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p><span><span>It&#8217;s All Kicking Off is an exciting new podcast from Mail Sport that promises a different take on Premier League football.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span>It is available on MailOnline, Mail+, YouTube, Apple Music and Spotify.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/football\/article-12563571\/Plane-crazy-Pep-Guardiola-angry-tired-Man-City-squad-flight-home-Newcastle-Wednesday-insisting-142-mile-bus-journey-cost-valuable-recovery-time.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Pep Guardiola bemoans Man City squad not being able to fly home from Carabao Cup trip to Newcastle on Wednesday Manchester City travel to Newcastle <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/sportstoft.com\/soccer\/pep-guardiolas-angry-his-tired-man-city-squad-cant-get-a-flight-home\/\" title=\"Pep Guardiola&amp;apos;s angry his tired Man City squad can&amp;apos;t get a flight home\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":290151,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 -
