Pep Guardiola says it's time to follow the medical advice.

• Ex-Barca coach has advised City fans to stay at home during the coronavirus crisis.

• Man City manager Guardiola knows people's well being is more important than football.

City manager Guardiola tells club fans to follow advise from our scientists, doctors and nurses.

Manchester City Pep Guardiola admits he is really missing football, but the Spanish coach says staying safe at this moment is more important. The Premier League season was suspended due to the COVID-19 chaos as authorities look to stop the spread of the devastating virus. And, City coach Guardiola, who donated one million euros (£918,000) last week to help combat coronavirus in Spain, sent a message to the City supporters urging them to abide by the government's advice.

“We miss football,” he said via the CityzensAtHome page. “We miss the life that we had a few days ago but now is the time to listen, to follow our scientists, doctors and nurses. “You are my football family and we are going to do everything possible to make you feel better. We’ll come back from this stronger, better, kinder… and a little bit fatter. Stay inside, stay safe.”
