Pep Guardiola will start the preseason of a campaign as atypical as 2020/21 on the wrong foot. The Manchester City coach is in Barcelona visiting his relatives, which has set off alarms in Barcelona in the midst of a crisis due to the situation of Lionel Messi. The 'citizen' club is one of the names that sound louder to be the next destination of the Argentine, and this trip of the Catalan coach could not be a coincidence.
However, this visit will be a mishap that of Sampedor. The British authorities force all those who travel from Spain to England to carry out a 14-day quarantine. According to Sky Sports, Pep Guardiola is not going to get rid of this obligation, which would make him miss a large part of his team's preseason, which just two weeks ago was playing in the quarterfinals of the Champions League.
The season for Manchester City will begin on September 21, when they will visit Wolverhampton on the first day of the Premier League. If Guardiola began the quarantine next Monday, he would join the team for the first week of competition. However, everything that involves arriving later will mean losing more days to prepare your players for the 2020/21 Premier League opening.
