Pep Guardiola has been in Barcelona so he must quarantine
Pep Guardiola could miss much of Manchester City’s preseason as he must be in quarantine for 14 days after a trip to Spain.
Sky Sports News You can confirm that Guardiola is in Barcelona and has been for a few days. The town chief is on vacation and visits his close family in the region.
It is understood that you will be returning to the UK after the weekend to begin the two-week self-isolation, which is the current UK government policy for travelers returning to England from Spain.
The first game of the new season of the city will be in Wolves in three weeks, live on Monday Night Football, on September 21.

Most of City’s first team players will not return to preseason training until the following week due to their participation in upcoming international games. However, City’s small contingent of non-international players may have to start preparations for the new season without their coach.
Man City will be left out of the first weekend of the Premier League
City will skip the opening weekend of the Premier League season. Along with neighboring Manchester United, City were allowed to skip the opening weekend due to their late finish in the 2019/20 season due to their efforts in the Champions League.

Instead, City will present only twice in the Premier League in September: the trip to Wolves followed by their first home game of the season against Leicester.
An absent date in Leeds will take place in early October before the international break, meaning City will have only played three times in the league before the clash with Arsenal on October 17.
The city’s meetings with champion Liverpool are scheduled for November 7 and February 6.
That February encounter with Liverpool will also kick off what is arguably the City’s most intriguing set of matches, with Guardiola’s team set to face Liverpool, Tottenham, Arsenal, West Ham and Man Utd between the 6 of February and March 6.
