Pep Guardiola extremely concerned: We only have 13 players.

Despite 2-1 success against Bournemouth, Manchester City seems to be in trouble. At least that's what is understood by the words of technonic Pep Guardilla. Speaking after the Karabao Cup match, the Spaniard has commented on the emergency situation going through his organ, torn by injuries and shortages due to Coronavirus.

With the situation we have now, we need the Academy players. We only have 13 players in the form of the first team”, and he's commented with sadness and concern Guardilla. “With the problems ahead, he will stay with us. We'll use it”, the technician went on to refer to young Liam Delap, son of famous Rory Delap, Irish football player who played long for Derby County, Southampton and Stoke City.

We can't forget there's players, exactly like Phil, who's 17 years old. There is much to improve. We cannot speed up the progress of every new player. But in any case it should be said that the Academy is giving us a lot of support. They have very prepared people helping boys. Jason Wilcox is the head of the Academy and helps us have these types of players”.

“We have just 13 players available”
