Pep Guardiola to take up to 'five days' off from football heading into the international break as Manchester City boss admits his main thoughts will be around the health of his players on international duty amid Covid-19

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola will celebrate reaching a third successive FA Cup semi-final by taking a break from football - for a few days at least.

The 2-0 win over Everton, achieved in the last 10 minutes thanks to goals from Ilkay Gundogan and substitute Kevin De Bruyne, meant the club have reached the last four in the competition three years running for the first time since 1932.

With the international break now kicking in Guardiola will put aside his near-obsessive addiction to football to take some time off before he begins planning for the next phase on their route towards a quadruple.
