EPL: Guardiola has claimed he has only 13 first-team players available

Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, has claimed he has only 13 first-team players available.

The Premier League champions suffered more injuries as they lost 2-1 to Tottenham in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night.

City were already without Kyle Walker, Rodri, Oscar Bobb, Jeremy Doku, Kevin De Bruyne and Jack Grealish for the fourth-round tie.

Manuel Akanji was withdrawn ahead of the game before Savinho was taken off on a stretcher in the second half.

Ahead of this weekend’s league trip to Bournemouth, Guardiola has admitted his side is in trouble.

“We have 13 players (available), so we are in real difficulty,” Guardiola said.

“The guys that play finish most of them with problems and we’ll see how they recover.

“Tomorrow we have two keepers and Erling Haaland for the training session, the rest, so we don’t have anything else.”
