Manchester City must drive back from Newcastle after their Carabao Cup tie on Wednesday as there are no private planes available to fly them home.
Pep Guardiola said the longer journey back to Manchester will only add to City's hectic schedule, and isn't helping their injury list which still sees Kevin De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva and John Stones on the sidelines.
Guardiola has promised to rest the likes of Kyle Walker and Ruben Dias at Newcastle, who City face in the first of four away games in succession in the next 12 days.
City would sometimes fly back from an evening away game like Newcastle, or in the south of England, after getting there on the coach or train.
