DON'T GET ARCTIC ROLLED

Pep fears his City stars will freeze in Norway

- BY SIMON BAJKOWSKI

PEP GUARDIOLA has urged his Manchester City players to bounce back in Norway after suffering a cold spell in their campaign.

City are without 10 players for their Champions League game tonight and have had to change their usual preparations to make exceptions for Bodo's artificial pitch.

Guardiola's squad trained on the pitch last night (below) - rather than having a session back in Manchester - as they try to get to grips with how the ball will bounce differently in the Aspmyra Stadium.

City will also have to pick themselves up after a poor performance in last Saturday's Manchester derby defeat at Old Trafford which makes it four Premier League games without a win.
