Guardiola Backs Guehi Availability for League Cup Final
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has urged authorities to allow Marc Guehi feature in the League Cup final, insisting the defender should not be denied a chance to play in the showpiece at Wembley later this month. Guardiola raised the issue on Tuesday, citing fairness and sporting integrity.
Guehi’s eligibility has been questioned due to regulatory concerns, but Guardiola made his stance clear. “He deserves to play the final,” Guardiola said. “These matches should be decided on the pitch, not by technicalities.”
The City boss added that players work all season for such moments. “Finals are special,” he said. “If he is fit and selected, he should be allowed.”
A League Cup official confirmed the matter is under review, while a football analyst noted, “This is a sensitive situation, but Guardiola’s argument is understandable.”
As the final approaches, attention now turns to whether Guehi will be cleared, with Guardiola pushing for clarity ahead of the biggest domestic cup night.
