P. Guardiola: "At the moment we only have 13 healthy main team players" © JumpStory

"Manchester City" on Thursday struggled to victory in the English League Cup match against "Bournemouth", triumphing with a score of 2:1 and advancing to the next stage of the tournament. 17-year-old Liam Delap, who made his debut in the team, contributed to the victory with a goal, and Pep Guardiola stated after the match that in the current situation his team must rely on young academy players. "Liam is only 17 years old, but his physical qualities are exceptional. We see during training how well he can finish attacks. However, he must continue to work hard. In the current situation, we must rely on our young footballers. Currently, we only have 13 healthy players in the main team. We have a lot of problems up front, so Delap will remain with the main team for now," said P. Guardiola. It is worth noting that due to injury, "Man City" will be without their main striker Sergio Aguero for some time.
