Pep Guardiola looked exhausted mentally as he mulled over another disappointing result and more dropped points for Manchester City, but it is the physical toll on his players that concerns him most.

Sergio Aguero only returned last week, four months after knee surgery, but failed to reappear for the second half at the London Stadium with what Guardiola called a muscular injury, hinting at a hamstring problem and another lay-off.
