Joao Cancelo reveals which Man City teammates he is missing the most

Manchester City defender Joao Cancelo has revealed that he especially misses Bernardo Silva, Gabriel Jesus and Eric Garcia out of his teammates since lockdown came into effect.

Since the Premier League was suspended due to the outbreak of coronavirus, City's stars have been unable to attend the training ground.

Instead they have been given individual training programmes from the club in order to keep their fitness levels up and have been training together in virtual sessions.

But it's not the same as being out on the field with your teammates and Cancelo has revealed he is missing all of his City colleagues.

"Yes, I really miss being close to my teammates, we usually spend most of our time together. It's like a second family. Of course, I miss them," the Portuguese told City's official site.

"The person I miss the most ... I don't want to point only to one, but maybe Eric... Bernardo as well... Gabriel... the ones that I spend most of my time with."

The right-back also revealed he has kept in touch with his compatriot Bernardo and can't wait for football to be back.

"Yes, during this period I have been in touch with Bernardo. We have been talking about many things. And, of course, about this situation, that is very critical, not only in England but in the whole world.

"Of course, Bernardo is a friend from my time in Benfica and we kept in touch. He's fine and, like me, is preparing the best he can to be ready for when football returns."
