Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is not willing to take any risks in the Carabao Cup amid his side's busy schedule
Pep Guardiola is resigned to playing youth team players in the Carabao Cup as Manchester City try and cope with serious injury problems.
City were handed a tough draw in the third round of the Carabao Cup away to fellow Champions League side Newcastle, where they came from two goals behind to draw 3-3 in the league last season. The League Cup was Guardiola's first trophy in England and City have won four in his seven years as part of their dominance of the domestic game.
"The problem when you have a lot of injuries is maybe not today but over three, four, five games," he said. "We have to go away to Newcastle in the Carabao Cup and I'm sorry but we are going to have to play with some players from the second team because we cannot take the risks.
