Last updated on .From the section Man CityBoth Pep Guardiola's Manchester City and Troyes are part of the City Football GroupManchester City's pre-season game with Troyes has been scrapped because of new Government rules about entering France. New quarantine restrictions which mean all those returning from France must quarantine for 10 days have proved too difficult for City to overcome. The news comes after it was confirmed City's first pre-season game - against Preston on 27 July - must now be played behind closed doors. City say the decision to play without fans present at the City Football Academy has been taken because their academy building has been closed since 16 July after a number of positive coronavirus cases. Preston's visit is the first time Pep Guardiola's side will have been in action since the Champions League final defeat by Chelsea on 29 May.
