Pep Guardiola has handed his Manchester City players a week off during the winter break after abandoning plans for a trip to Abu Dhabi.
City had discussed the potential for a warm-weather camp after Saturday’s match at Southampton.
The Premier League leaders will have two weeks without a fixture, not playing again until an FA Cup clash with Fulham on February 5.
That break was seen as an opportune time to train in warmer climes, but they opted against travelling amid the recent coronavirus outbreak within Guardiola’s first-team bubble.
