Overview

  • Players completed a recovery session on Monday after the 3-1 win over Bournemouth before being told to take Tuesday off.
  • City will reconvene on Wednesday for the Champions League tie, with a brief tactical run-through on matchday described as a possibility.
  • UEFA requires a player to join Guardiola at the pre-match press conference, so at least one squad member will report for media duty.
  • The group campaign stands at seven points from three games, with a home victory over Borussia Dortmund lifting City to 10.
  • The decision aligns with Guardiola’s workload concerns and comes as Rayan Cherki and Omar Marmoush regain minutes, with Mateo Kovacic still sidelined.
