Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has described his squad size as “not healthy” despite beginning the Premier League season with a commanding 4-0 win over Wolves.
Erling Haaland scored twice, while summer signings Tijjani Reijnders and Rayan Cherki also found the net. Goalkeeper James Trafford impressed on his first league start, and ex-Wolves defender Rayan Ait-Nouri caught attention on his return to Molineux.
However, Guardiola admitted his main concern is the number of players at his disposal. “[It’s] too much — too many people. I like a deep squad to compete in all competitions, but I don’t want to leave players at home. It’s not healthy,” he told reporters. “You cannot create a good vibe or atmosphere to compete. Everyone has to feel they can play and help.”
Goalkeeper Ederson, linked with Galatasaray, and forward Savinho, a Tottenham target, are among those who could depart. City aim to trim numbers before the window closes, with a key clash against Spurs looming.
