Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has slammed the FA over the treatment of young defender Max Allen while on international duty with England.

Guardiola was unhappy that Allen returned from the international break with a fitness problem and will be out for a month after playing for England’s Under-20s. ufabet http://ufabet999.app The Spaniard admitted his frustration

at the lack of communication between the medical staff, which he said was similar to the case of Jack Grealish with the first-team.

Pep Guardiola has revealed why he confronted Brighton defender Jan Paul van Hecke after Manchester City suffered their fourth successive defeat on the south coast on Saturday evening.

Guardiola has lost four games in a row for the first time in his managerial career, while City are now five points behind leaders Liverpool after their win over Aston Villa later on Saturday night.

“They put too much pressure on Max and he has to come back injured. They should have had more contact with the medical staff,” Guardiola said.

“If a player goes to the national team not fully fit and trains with the Under-21s in the morning and the Under-20s in the afternoon and then plays two games not fully fit, it is normal for him to get injured. We are going to be out for three weeks, maybe a month again.”
