Manchester City Players Face Strict Christmas Weigh-In as Guardiola Issues Warning

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has warned his players that they’ll face a Christmas Day weigh-in, and anyone returning overweight will be dropped for the match against Nottingham Forest on December 27. The warning comes after City’s 3-0 win over West Ham, with Guardiola expressing dissatisfaction with their performance despite the victory. “Every player makes a weight. They come back on the 25th and I will be there controlling how many kilos come up, (to see if) they come fatty,” Guardiola said. Players who tip the scales with an extra three kilos or more can expect to stay in Manchester while their teammates head to Nottingham.
