Pep Guardiola defends behaviour of Manchester City trio after night out

Pep Guardiola has defended Manchester City trio Jack Grealish, Riyad Mahrez and Kyle Walker, following a night out in the city centre on Sunday.

A video shared on TikTok has captured Grealish, Mahrez and Walker outside Albert's Scholls, which claimed that the former was led away from the bar by a member of their entourage for being 'too drunk'.

Members of City's hierarchy are believed to be satisfied with the behaviour of all three players, and Guardiola has since joked that they would all be 'fined' for not inviting him.

"I'm so upset because they didn't invite me! The video didn't show what did or didn't happen," the Spaniard told the press on Wednesday.

"All of them were perfect, but they will be fined because they didn't invite me. In this case, yeah [unfairly treated]."

Over the Christmas period, Guardiola warned his players of their conduct after Grealish and Phil Foden were pictured in a nightclub together shortly after their 7-0 victory against Leeds United on December 14.

Grealish, Mahrez and Walker are all set to be available to play at home against Brentford in midweek, but Guardiola has revealed that Gabriel Jesus and Cole Palmer remain sidelined and will be further assessed ahead of the weekend.
