Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini says he must buy again this summer to deepen his squad.
While City may be a byword throughout the league for lavish spending and a comfortable surplus of quality players, their manager pointed to a threadbare performance against Wigan Athletic as evidence that injuries and a demanding schedule are taking their toll on a tired team.
"Every other team has 20 or 22 players to choose from and you need that if you are playing every three days," Mancini said.
"We only have 15 or 16 at present. When we recover all our players it will not be a problem, but since January we have been unlucky with niggling injuries and now we have just lost Kolo [Touré]."
