Under current UK government policy on travel to Spain, Guardiola must self-isolate for 14 days upon his return as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
While the Premier League season begins in two weeks’ time, Man City do not feature in the first gameweek due to their recent involvement in European competition.
Their first game of the season is in three weeks’ time, away at Wolves on September 21.

Meanwhile, the bulk of City’s players are not returning to training until the week after next due to international commitments.
Guardiola is set to miss that week unless the government’s rules change.

It is understood there has already been a conversation between Guardiola and Messi regarding a potential move, although City would need to fork out around £1.4m-a-week.
