Pep Guardiola has expressed his annoyance with a late challenge on Gabriel Jesus in the 3-1 win over Watford on Saturday and hopes it hasn’t caused the striker any serious damage. Guardiola was furious in the dugout as he remonstrated with the fourth official and now just hopes the Brazilian will be fit for Tuesday’s match against RB Leipzig in the Champions League.
Pep Guardiola said: “Absolutely yeah. [After] What happened in the last minutes, he cannot play. Okay maybe he’s orange [card], not yellow or red but orange. Hopefully, it’s just a knock and he can play in Germany.”
He later added in his press conference
Pep Guardiola added: “Yeah it looked like orange at least but I’m not going to talk about refs because after six seasons I talk very few about referees.”
