No need to panic insists Reijnders after defeat

TIJJANI Reijnders insists there will be no panic or loss of confidence following Manchester City's surprise defeat to Bayer Leverkusen.

Manager Pep Guardiola paid the price for making 10 changes on Tuesday as City were beaten 2-0 at home by the Bundesliga outfit in the Champions League.

The defeat ended their unbeaten start in the league phase and, with a tricky trip to Real Madrid coming up next, their top-eight prospects now look less certain.

It was also City's second slip-up in the space of a few days after Saturday's reverse at Newcastle, but midfielder Reijnders sees no reason for alarm.
