City only had six outfield players on the bench last night as they came from behind to beat Crvena zvezda in the Champions League. 

That 3-1 victory came at a cost as Bernardo Silva picked up an injury to join Kevin De Bruyne, Jack Grealish, Mateo Kovacic and John Stones in the treatment room. 

Guardiola said: "We are in trouble but it is what it is. 

"With the players we have, we will go for it. As long as we have that mentality, that is good. 

"We have five really important players injured and to sustain that for a long time would be difficult."
