Sporting Lisbon meets Man City at Etihad Stadium tonight for their Champions league encounter.

Pep Guardiola remarked in his news conference before the match, "He earned the 3 game suspension." "Whenever a player does do something dumb, he or she is deserving of a three-game suspension.

"In these situations, I'm not so nice to Kyle. Because of him, I'm still bitter. It's not essential to bring it up with him since he already knows. We all know how important Kyle is to us, as seen by his performance over Manchester United, although to commit such an error at the end of the game in Leipzig, since we had definitely qualified. Those 3 games are well-deserved.

"The club had my attention, but I wasn't convinced. Due to the fact that in previous circumstances, that was just only 2 matches still he was deserving, they did had to do everything. For the sake of the future, I hope he learns from his mistakes."

Joao Cancelo is out with a sickness, therefore Oleksandr Zinchenko, the Ukraine international, might get the start in the game tonight.

Guardiola added, he may have no qualms with his selections, as the left-back, who has showed tremendous decency and courage in over the last week matches despite the ongoing situation in his nation.
