Manchester City assistant coach Rodolfo Borrell revealed that Pep Guardiola would be constantly in contact during Friday night's FA Cup third round tie away to Swindon Town.
Guardiola was unable to attend the game because of Covid, but the City manager had a direct line of communication to his coaching staff.
Borrell told ITV Sport: 'We've been in touch in terms of preparations of the game. He will keep in touch with us. He told us he believes a lot in all of us. He will be permanently in touch.
