Man City boss Guardiola won't rule out shaking up his defence

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola won't rule out shaking up his defence after defeat at Norwich City.

City's defence were shaky during the 3-2 defeat at Carrow Road and with Aymeric Laporte out injured John Stones returned to the back line alongside Nicolas Otamendi.

Guardiola was asked if he would consider rotating his squad for the upcoming Champions League group stage game in Ukraine on Wednesday night.

"Of course we can do it (rotate), because we have to see if maybe we have problems, maybe they are tired, maybe another one we will need another one," Guardiola replied.

"Just the spirit, just if you want to take a step for the team, for the club, we are going to solve it, if not we are going to suffer. We are going to fight again and again. But I'm sorry but if you believe for that reason that I have doubts in my team, I can't."
