'They put their own lives at risk to save ours': Pep Guardiola heaps praise on NHS workers as he urges fans to 'stay safe and be careful' after Manchester City return to training in small groups

Pep Guardiola has praised key workers for 'risking their lives to protect ours' in the fight against the coronavirus, as he urges fans to 'stay safe and be careful' while adhering to lockdown measures.

The Premier League was suspended indefinitely back in March following the outbreak of COVID-19 but there have been ongoing discussions to get football in England's top-flight back underway following the Bundesliga's successful return earlier this month.

Guardiola and his first team return to the Etihad Campus last week following talks with league officials to get the ball rolling with Project Restart.
