Guardiola: The problem is the schedule

Man City boss Pep Guardiola:

"We have more games than ever in this calendar. The number of injuries we've had has today made me reflect that you need a squad of 25-30 players.

"It will be more difficult financially for the club.

"In the summer, we will play the Club World Cup over three weeks and then the Premier League will start again.

"Maybe then, we will have to have more depth to our squad. When people say, 'what is the problem?' The problem is the schedule.

"It's not the players, it's not the physios, it's not the training, it's not how their eat or how they rest. It's the schedule.

"Sooner or later, it will happen for all the clubs. This is the truth."
