Pep Guardiola laments 'worsening' fixture schedule and reveals he is yet to decide whether to rest Rodri this weekend against Luton - amid the Man City star's plea for time off

Pep Guardiola has reiterated that the schedule is the worst it’s ever been after Rodri stated that he was in need of a rest this week.

Manchester City, who face Luton Town tomorrow, will not have a free midweek until the end of the season if they prevail against Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-final.

Rodri was animated as he suggested that it was time for him to sit a game out as City’s fixture list piles up and Guardiola claimed he is yet to decide whether that will be afforded to him this weekend.
