Man City have altered training plan ahead of FA Cup and Champions League finals

Pep Guardiola says injuries and fatigue have meant that Manchester City are barely training as they go into the FA Cup and Champions League finals.

City made plenty of changes at Brentford with more than one eye on the two upcoming finals, and the mishmash side struggled for rhythm at times against Brentford. There were some bright sparks - like Cole Palmer and Rico Lewis in midfield - but ultimately Brentford's pressure earned them a famous double over the champions thanks to Ethan Pinnock's late goal.

And Guardiola said that injury problems to the likes of Kevin De Bruyne, Ruben Dias, Jack Grealish and others meant that his training sessions have been minimal in the last week since sealing the Premier League title.
