Pep Guardiola addressed the media ahead of Manchester City's Premier League fixture against Nottingham Forest, confirming that Nico O'Reilly will miss the game due to a knock sustained in training. The City manager explained that the player felt uncomfortable during training sessions and has been ruled out of the squad.
Guardiola emphasized his team's focus on their own performance, stating, "We can only focus on ourselves for the rest of the games … I don't know what is going to happen. Today is how we behave against Forest." He also praised Erling Haaland's impact since joining the club, noting that he "has made an incredible impact since he arrived years ago" and was "outstanding" in the first quarter of the current season.
