Pep gives City license for 'quality time' on break

Pep Guardiola has given Manchester City players an eight-day break, allowing them to travel anywhere before returning for training on Wednesday ahead of their Premier League match at Everton. City reached the FA Cup final on Saturday with a win over Southampton and have six games remaining within 21 days, with victories in all potentially securing an unprecedented second domestic treble. Guardiola believes rest is crucial, stating that more days off leads to better performances.
