The Premier League champions spent more than £120 million in the summer to add Rodri, Joao Cancelo and Angelino to the squad but are facing a defensive crisis if Aymeric Laporte is ruled out with a knee injury.

“We could not buy like the opponents,” said Guardiola. “The club works incredibly well in all departments and sometimes we cannot afford it like other teams afford it and that is all. Laporte was sent to hospital after being stretchered off during the 4-0 win over Brighton on Saturday.
