Manuel Pellegrini: 'Injuries won't affect transfer plans'

Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini insists that he is not planning to bring in players as injury cover in January.

Manuel Pellegrini has insisted that he is "not thinking" about bringing players into his Manchester City squad as injury cover during the January transfer window.

The league leaders have suffered more injuries than any other side in the Premier League this season, with 36 separate problems, as Sergio Aguero, David Silva and Joe Hart are among those to miss games through injury.

"The squad for this year is ready. We are not thinking to replace for the amount of injuries we've had. Really, we are not thinking about that," the manager told reporters.

"I am so happy with the position we are in at this moment in every competition. It's the reality of lots of different clubs. Not only our team. I think Arsenal have the same problem. Liverpool has the same problem. Real Madrid has the same problem.

"So when you have to play so many games, especially here in the Premier League, that it's so intense every game, and so often it is not easy for the player not to have muscle injury."

Man City travel to Stoke City in the Premier League tomorrow.
