But he clearly does not think there will be any concerns, judging by his latest comments.
“I earn four or five kilograms more for the amount of food and drinks that I have drunk, so it is really good,” Guardiola said.
“(The players) have been incredibly disciplined since 10 years ago. Last season for the injuries that we had was a little bit more difficult, but always they behaved unbelievably, all the players I had in the last decade and that is not an exception today.
“We have a standard as a club – everybody knows exactly what they have to do.”

City won four league titles in a row under Guardiola, but saw Liverpool take their crown last season.
Now they are in the title hunt again, sitting two points behind Arsenal at Christmas. The Gunners host Brighton shortly after City’s meeting with Forest on Saturday.
“I prefer to be 10 points ahead of everyone, but it is what it is. It is going really well, but we are there,” Guardiola said.
“We are still in the end of December. In the Champions League we are up there, in the Premier League we are up there, we are in the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup, the start of the FA Cup is soon.”
In March, when Forest last met City at their home ground in the Premier League, they won 1-0 with a late goal from Callum Hudson-Odoi.
They are currently in 17th, one place above the relegation zone, after Monday’s 1-0 defeat at Fulham.
But their form has improved under Sean Dyche, who has overseen six wins from their last nine games in all competitions, giving fans hope they can climb the table.
