Pep hints at plans to send youngsters to Spurs in Carabao Cup

- Pep Guardiola insists he will not risk fielding a player with a fitness problem for Wednesday’s clash with Tottenham Hotspur.
- The ‘Sky Blues’ will have four consecutive away games in three competitions after beating Southampton 1-0 at home.
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has insist he will not risk fielding a player with a fitness problem for Wednesday’s Carabao Cup clash with Tottenham Hotspur.
“We talk about it, we have to protect ourselves, sleep, drink water, eat well, sleep a lot, train and recover,” Guardiola said.
“I would love to have a fit squad but that’s not the case. We have a few options and we will do what we have to do. I think about Spurs, maybe there is an ยูฟ่าเบท https://ufabet999.app opportunity for some players from the youth team. We will see tomorrow and the day after, we have four days off, not three.”
“Of course we will go there to win. But the main targets are Bournemouth, Sporting and Brighton before the international break. Focus on that. We will make a decision and if the players are OK, we will play them against Spurs. But if there is any problem, I will not risk the Spurs game, definitely not.”
The Citizens edged Southampton 1-0 at home in the Premier League on Saturday and now have four consecutive away games in three competitions.
The first game is an away game at Spurs in the Carabao Cup fourth round. With Guardiola saying he will prioritise the Premier League and Champions League.
