Man City boss reveals squad plan after Newcastle United game

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has revealed he is considering taking his squad away again for a mid-season warm weather training camp.

Nothing has been confirmed to date but the Man City boss admits it is an option.  Title-chasing City have no fixture on the weekend of January 21-22. The Premier League are once again doing their staggered winter break.

Guardiola said: “After Newcastle, if it’s possible, we go to Abu Dhabi again, all together.

“Last season we were there in the World Cup and it had an incredible impact for the staff and everyone. The five titles prove it.

“We go there to train in better weather, to be together – training, training and training to prepare for the second part of the season. That is the plan but maybe we’ll change it, I don’t know yet.”
