ORLANDO — Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is concerned about the lack of rest his side will get ahead of the new English Premier League season and said their involvement in the Club World Cup could "destroy" them.
City wrapped up the previous Premier League season on May 25 and opened their Club World Cup campaign in Philadelphia just over three weeks later on June 18.
They face Al-Hilal in Orlando on June 30 (July 1, Singapore time) in the round of 16 and should City go on to reach the final on July 13, they will have a month to prepare for their new league campaign beginning on Aug 16.
