Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola was not on the sidelines or on the bench during the 2025/26 FA Cup quarter-final against Liverpool at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.
The City manager is serving a two-match suspension for yellow cards. He had also missed the Premier League match against West Ham United before the international break.
However, he was present on the sidelines during the Carabao Cup final against Arsenal, as yellow card suspensions do not apply in finals.
In Guardiola’s absence, assistant manager Pep Lijnders will be in charge of the side in the final eight matches.
