Gundogan: Man City players must prove themselves

Manchester City's Ilkay Gundogan says they "have to be ready" to show they are “top players and a top club" when football resumes.

City have 10 games to play in the Premier League but were 25 points behind leaders Liverpool when the season was suspended because of the coronavirus pandemic.

“Whatever comes we have to be ready for it," the German international told BBC Radio 5 Live's Friday Football Social.

“It's an extraordinary situation right now and extraordinary situations need extraordinary solutions.

“We see ourselves as top players and a top club and this is a chance for us to show that and deal with the situation as well as possible.

“It's about when everything starts again but it doesn't start when we are back in training (at the club), it has already started, that is how we should see it, so that we can play in all these things and be ready for every competition."
