Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola says there'll be no panic buying after losing the Community Shield to Leicester City.

It was a spot-kick from former City striker Kelechi Iheanacho, after he was brought down by Nathan Ake two minutes from time, that gave Leicester a 1-0 win.

When asked whether he will now press harder to sign Tottenham striker Harry Kane, Guardiola responded: “No. It depends if it is possible. If it is we do it, if not we go without a striker."

Guardiola does not expect to have anything like a full-strength side when they face Tottenham in the Premier League opener next weekend.

It happened last season, we arrived late," he added. “Tomorrow seven or eight players arrive back. That's why I guess at the beginning of the season we will try to get results without being at our best.

“We know we will not be at our best but the players will be better next Sunday. That is the process we have to do."
