Manchester City's stand-in coach Rodolfo Borrell says Pep Guardiola will be in regular contact during their FA Cup tie with Swindon.

All told, 21 members of City's first team squad along with coaches and backroom staff are having to self-isolate after a slew of positive tests.

With assistant coach Juanma Lillo also self-isolating, it means fellow assistant coach Borrell will oversee preparations and planning in person at the County Ground for the tie against our League Two opponents.

"Obviously, the manager is going to be connected but we've already discussed about the tactics and everything that we have to try to be doing during the game," Borrell revealed.

“During the game it might change but I have been working with him (Pep) for seven years now and we think very alike.

“Again, I'll take my decisions, but the manager is going to be connected and like any other time it'll be between all of us.

“This is not about one thing and the guy at front, now it's me but we're all connected with Pep and Juanma all the time.

“We make decisions together, the guy is Pep and now it has to be me at the front but it's the work of many people."
