The World Cup gets underway in less than a month, but Pep Guardiola is paying no attention to the upcoming tournament.
In fact, when asked if he will take the World Cup into account when selecting his Manchester City teams over the next three weeks, he simply shook his head and smiled. And Guardiola went on to warn if any players are focussing on their international chances more than City's remaining seven fixtures before the World Cup, they will not play.
City already have two injury concerns going into the World Cup, with England duo Kyle Walker and Kalvin Phillips facing a race against time to recover in time for the tournament, while John Stones has only just returned to training after injuring his hamstring a month ago.
