Pep Guardiola says Manchester City has not had a full training session ahead of the FA Cup final due to a tight match schedule. Reporting from multiple outlets indicates Guardiola made the comment in the lead-up to the game, pointing to the compressed timeframe between fixtures as a reason for the lack of on-field preparation. The statements come as City face the FA Cup final after a period of closely spaced matches, with Guardiola suggesting that the team’s workload and scheduling demands have limited the possibility of standard training routines. While details on the exact length or structure of any sessions vary by report, the common theme is that City’s preparation has been constrained by timing. All sources frame Guardiola’s remarks as an explanation for how the squad has managed practice and readiness rather than as a change to matchday plans. The overall coverage reflects uncertainty around how training has been handled in the final build-up, but it consistently attributes the situation to the congested calendar.
