"You are out if you are overweight ": Guardiola

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola says any of his players who is too overweight should be on his way out.

The former Barcelona boss who took over from Manuel Pellegrini has  also banned pizza and some drinks in his squad as revealed by left back Gael Clichy.

However, the Spaniard has denied the news that some players returned to pre-season overweight, but explained his concerns that anyone short of peak condition will risk injury.

"They were not overweight but I want my players fit," he said
"For me, the weight is so, so important. We need to run, to fight, to jump – to have the ball. After three days, then another three days, then another three days.

"When you are not fit and [your] weight is not proper, danger is coming. They are not fast enough - that's why I want my players to be absolutely fit."
