Overview
- Guardiola confirmed the squad was weighed before the West Ham win and will be re‑weighed on Dec. 25 at the City Football Academy.
- He rejected a player request for an extra day off after the 3-0 victory, calling the display not good enough and limiting the break to three days.
- Selection for the Dec. 27 trip to Nottingham Forest will hinge on the post‑break results, with anyone returning overweight kept in Manchester.
- He said players should spend time with family and recover but remain professionally controlled, noting he will be in Barcelona during the short break.
- City are two points behind Arsenal after 17 games, and no players have yet been reported excluded under the policy as the festive fixtures approach.
