Manchester City confirmed that Pep Guardiola was unable to take his prematch press conference ahead of Sunday’s clash with Tottenham Hotspur due to a “personal reason.”
Guardiola’s assistant coach Pep Lijnders, formerly Jürgen Klopp’s No. 2 at Liverpool, confirmed that his boss “is good, as always” and remains “full of ambition and passion.” The Catalan manager was on the Etihad touchline to see his side earn a 2–0 win over Galatasaray which nudged them into the Champions League top eight on Wednesday night.
