​Man City boss confident players will adapt to restarting season

Manchester City return to Premier League action at home to Arsenal on Wednesday evening.

It was this fixture on 11 March that became the first Premier League casualty of coronavirus.

In the build-up to that game, Guardiola said he was not in favour of playing matches without spectators.

"In that moment, when I made that comment, nobody expected what happened, not even the doctors" he said.

"The best scientists in the world didn't expect what happened in this situation.

"The health of the people is important but at the end, the Premier League, like in Spain, decide we have to play and we are going to play.

"The players are human. They are going to adapt as quickly as possible."
