Manchester City players urged not to panic despite dismal defeat against Bayer Leverkusen that left dressing room mood low

Tijjani Reijnders urged Manchester City not to panic after consecutive defeats stalled their momentum.

City lost at Newcastle United in controversial circumstances at the weekend before Pep Guardiola admitted to making mistakes in ringing the changes for the defeat by Bayer Leverkusen.

Reijnders was one of 10 new faces for the Champions League tie and believes they can bounce back over the coming weeks – starting against Leeds United on Saturday.

‘Of course it’s a bummer,’ Reijnders said. ‘We should not lose our confidence because we did great before and we have to get back on that winning streak and that’s by being ready for the next game on Saturday.
