But I can&#8217;t keep the players fresh because we only have 14 players. We can&#8217;t practice. It is not possible to train. We prepare for matches but we only have 48 hours to recover. It is a big problem.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>City host Aston Villa on Wednesday night in the FA Cup fifth-round tie, before facing Wigan and travelling to Ukraine to play Dinamo Kiev.<\/p>\n<p><span readability=\"1.5\"><span readability=\"3\"><\/p>\n<p><span><span><span><span><span><span><em>Our<span>\u00a0<\/span><\/em><span><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/GoalUK\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/714b1c6993900.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"48\" height=\"11\" \/><\/em><\/a><\/span><em>\u00a0provides the best breaking news online and our\u00a0<\/em><span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/GoalUK\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/73587a9693899.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"49\" height=\"10\" \/><\/em><\/a><\/span><em>\u00a0football fan community is unmatched worldwide.
