Josep Guardiola does not want to let his players go to the teams. Manchester City head coach is worried and says that the national team pause could contribute to the spread of the coronavirus.
Josep Guardiola held a press conference before the match against Everton. The head coach of Manchester City talked about many other issues besides the meeting.
Pep said that the upcoming team break in March will increase the number of coronavirus cases in the Premier Leagu. So, it is possible that this will lead to a miserable situation for the clubs and the championship.
“I think they should have seriously thought about the expected epidemic situation in the Premier League. We have already passed two or three waves.”
“Great care is needed at such times. You should try your best to spend most of your time at home, keep your social distance, and avoid frequent flights.”
“The players will join the teams very soon, and it will be quite difficult to control the situation. I think, after that, the number of cases will increase even more.”
The Manchester City players will leave at the national teams’ disposal on March 20, after the match against Everton in the 1/4 final of the English Cup.
Great news for Guardiola’s team! De Bruyne returns
The City midfielder recovered from the injury and resumed training in the overall group. The official website of the “Cityzens” informs about it.
The last time De Bruyne appeared on the pitch was on January 20, in a match against Aston Villa, when he received an injury and had to be substituted. During this period, the Belgian missed seven matches of the team, but “City” managed to win all of them.
On February 17, “City” will face “Everton” and maybe the player will return to the field in this match.
