The 20-year-old Uzbekistan country player got a warning for an error Cole palms Just a minute later and was eventually replaced early in the second half.

City got over their bad start to win 3-1 thanks to goals from JOKO GVARDIOL. Erling Haaland and Phil foot to move back to the top four in the Premier League.

“Well, what I thought is not the best start, is it?” said Guardiola.

“He wants to take a lesson. He’s so young he’s come for many years. Of course it’s not the best start but handling (Nicolas) Jackson, with Cole) palms), with all these incredible players are not easy.

“He wants to learn. He’s young, he wants to learn. I’m pretty sure. Take a lesson of it.”

Khusanov was forced into an early debut as middle defense due to injuries Rúben Dias and Nathan Aké. John Stones was only fit enough to be named on the bench.

“I have to learn Russian or Uzbek to communicate with him (Khusanov),” Guardiola said.

“He doesn’t speak fluent English. In those kinds of situations, there’s not much to say. He knows he made a mistake.

“What can I say? Don’t make a mistake? He won’t do it, so we know that.

“I make a replacement primarily for the yellow card, not just for the error. I need John for Wednesday.”
