Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola admits he has decisions to make ahead of their next game.
The Spaniard is assessing his squad ahead of their Carabao Cup clash with Newcastle United.
The Citizens, who won the treble last season, take on the rejuvenated Magpies on Wednesday.
Speaking after a weekend win against Nottingham Forest, Guardiola stated to reporters: Now I'll go home, tomorrow training and day off afterwards, and prepare the game in Newcastle.
We'll see how many players we'll have available. It will be good for Jack [Grealish] to take minutes, and of course some players have a lot of minutes, they are not going to play against Newcastle. That's for sure.
Carabao Cup is perfect when you are in the beginning of the season because the games at the beginning of the season you have all the squad, deep squad, for the guys that don't play regularly, they have to play the minutes. That's perfect.
But we have a lot of injuries, I'm not going to waste one percent of energy for Carabao Cup, like Kyle Walker for example, like Ruben [Dias], who have played 90 minutes for the national team, 90 minutes, because they are exhausted already. And we cannot lose it.
That's why we're going to play with the guys who need it, maybe from the Academy, maybe if my back is getting better, [I can play] maybe a few minutes. We'll see."
