Pep Guardiola says his Manchester City players will try to stick to the new protocols on goal celebrations, but urged: 'Don't blame footballers for the pandemic.'
Guardiola claimed in midweek that it would difficult for players who have tested negative for Covid to refrain from hugging each other after scoring a goal despite a new directive from the football authorities.
The City boss reiterated that his squad will try to follow the rules when they face Crystal Palace at home on Sunday, even though it will be difficult in the heat of the moment.
