Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, said he was resting Kevin De Bruyne when he substituted him during their 3-2 defeat at Wolves on Friday. Mancity scored a 2-09 defeat lead, as Raheem Sterling’s double was cancelled out by strikes from Adama Traore, Raul Jimenez and Matt Doherty.
Chelsea ended up with only ten men on the pitch as the goalkeeper was issued with a red card in the first twelve minutes of the game.
As Guardiola his buys were at the top of the game, he turned his attention to Sunday’s game with Sheffield United where he replaced De Bruyne with Ilkay Gundogan.
Though De Bruyne was obviously not happy with the development, the decision backfired as Wolves fought back to win.
However, when Guardiola was asked as to why he substituted De Bruyne, he said Amazone prime; “We have less than 48 hours for our next game.
“It is always what it is. We could not defend it at the end, they fought incredible, ran until the last minute. The goals could have been avoided.
