Head coach of Manchester City Pep Guardiola urges his players to cope with the difficulties associated with the loss of the main central defender John Stones.

Central defender Manchester City John Stones injured the back of the thigh in the Premier League match against Leicester.

"John will miss at least 4-6 weeks. I hope he will return to the system in early January, "said Guardiola.

"We do not have so many players, we had to do without Vincent Kompany for a long time, and now John Stones got a damage".

"It's not easy to play in twelve games in such a short time. Let's see how the players adapt to the new alignment of forces and what positions will take. This is not an easy situation for us ".

"In football, not everything is perfect, I want to see how our players will cope with these difficulties. Perhaps, Toshin Adarabiojo will help us. Let's see, it all depends on the players ".

In addition, Guardiola noted that Manchester City intends to complete the group stage of the Champions League in first place.

"We reached the first goal and left the group, but we need better chances in the draw for round 16.

It is always better to hold the second match in your field - this is a plus ".

"We are preparing for a victorious match. The Champions League is a prestigious tournament and we will fight for the victory ".

In addition, Guardiola noted that he is ready to give a chance to young players in the match against Feyenoord.

The match of the group stage of the Champions League between Manchester City and Feyenoord will be held on Tuesday, November 21. The beginning of the meeting at 21:45 Kiev time.
