'Pressure on Bravo at Barca was 1,000 times more' - Guardiola backs keeper to bounce back

The Manchester City boss says the Chilean is used to handling the expectations of a big club and has not responded adversely to being dropped

Pep Guardiola believes Claudio Bravo is used to more trying situations from his time at Barcelona and has reacted strongly to being dropped at Manchester City.

Willy Caballero started a Premier League game for the first time since Bravo moved to the Etihad Stadium from Barcelona in August when City thrashed West Ham 4-0 at London Stadium.

Bravo has failed to convince from a debut error in September's 2-1 Manchester derby win onwards and conceded from each of the past six top-flight attempts on his goal before being taken out of the firing line in midweek.
