Pep Guardiola could miss much of Manchester City’s pre-season as he must quarantine for 14 days following a trip to Spain.

Sky Sports News can confirm Guardiola is in Barcelona and has been for some days. The City boss is holidaying and visiting his close family in the region.

It is understood he will return to the UK after the weekend to begin two weeks’ self-isolation, which is the current UK government policy for travellers returning to England from Spain.

City’s first game of the new season is away at Wolves in three weeks’ time, live on Monday Night Football, on September 21.

The bulk of City’s first-team players are not due to return to pre-season training until the week after next due to their involvement in forthcoming international matches. However, the small contingent of City’s non-international players may have to start their preparations for the new season without their manager.
