Pep Guardiola has voiced fears that City\u2019s high flying start could be grounded by four days of gruelling bus journeys. City play Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup on Tyneside on Wednesday night but have been denied a quick exit back to Manchester by train or plane on account of the late hour.<\/p>\n
Instead they face a potentially long coach trip back to the Etihad arriving back at 2am before setting off for their Saturday fixture against Wolves by the same method the following day.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter the game we cannot come back by plane because of a problem \u2013 something for the planes,\u201d said Guardiola.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe don\u2019t have a plane to travel back so we have to take a bus and it\u2019s two or three hours later that we will arrive here \u2013 so, so late arriving on Thursday.<\/p>\n
Don’t miss… <\/strong> Man City boss Pep Guardiola makes savage comment about his own \u00a353m player[LATEST] <\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cOn Friday we travel to Wolves then we go to Germany to play Leipzig in the Champions League next week. So that\u2019s what you have to think about.\u201d<\/p>\n City have made a perfect start to their season winning eight games out of eight as they defend last season\u2019s treble.

It\u2019s an exceptional situation in that we have a lot of players injured or with a lot of minutes so they have to rest.<\/p>\n \u201cWolves, Leipzig and Arsenal is much more important and that\u2019s why you will see the guys who didn\u2019t play much. We\u2019ll travel there to win the game but I have to consider a lot of effort in this period and if they\u2019re going to get injured again we\u2019ll be in trouble.\u201d<\/p>\n
