Keegan: No more excuses

City have not had the best of luck this season, which has denied them several wins, but with the season nearing its finale, Keegan has told his players that time is running to bag the points they need for safety.

"All that matters now is getting points," Keegan told Sky Sports. "This is no time for excuses.

"All the players have to stand up and be counted. These are tense times for all of us.

"It's been particularly frustrating for me to be absent at such a critical time but I have 100% faith in my players that we will not go down."
