Guardiola has said he will have no problem dropping a player if they are not giving their best with the hope of keeping themselves fit for the World Cup.
"He [a player] will not play if I smell this," Guardiola said in a press conference, as per Goal
"And what is going to happen is that they are going to play because they will get injured when they are not ready. When you are focused, you don't get injured.
"It is just two weeks and if you are here, you will be perfect for the World Cup. Otherwise, you will be in trouble."
The Citizens returned to winning ways in the Premier League on Saturday after defeating Brighton and Hove Albion 3-1 at the Etihad.
