Guardiola bans overweight Manchester City players from trainingJuly 27, 2016 - 11:09 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Pep Guardiola has warned his Manchester City players they will be exiled if they pile on the pounds and become overweight, writes David McDonnell in Shenzhen, according to the Mirror. New manager Guardiola has got tough with his players, banning sugary drinks and pizza from the menu at their training complex to try to ensure they are in peak shape. Former Barcelona and Bayern Munich boss Guardiola is known for his attention to detail and has told players who are not in the right condition they will have to train on their own or with the reserves. City defender Gael Clichy has revealed the hardline approach the Spaniard is using since taking charge three weeks ago, and admitted some of his team-mates are now training away from the first-team as a result. “On the field, outside the field, every detail counts,” said the French full-back. “For example, you often hear managers say being healthy is really important. With him, if you’re weight is too high, you’re not training with the team. “That’s the first thing and you can hear it a lot, but for my part it’s the first time any manager has really done it. So we have a few players who aren’t training with the team yet.” Top stories Armenian gymnast, Olympic bronze medalist Artur Davtyan has reached the finals of the World Cup.
