Pep Guardiola has insisted that Manchester City’s stars will not travel away on international duty if visiting red-zone countries.
City will discuss the issue with their players after Sunday’s Manchester derby but their manager was resolute those who will be required to quarantine for 10 days on their return will not turn represent their nations.
‘It makes no sense for them to go,’ Guardiola said. ‘We are working here, incredibly tough for eight months, and then important players can’t play for 10 days. They are not going to fly.
‘If they can fly and come back with us then they will fly.
