Kenny, Not sure that any of the English players involved in the Euros will take any part in this has they are still not back at City.

I would expect virtually the same team that started against Blackpool in midweek.

Steffen
Cancelo, Dias, Ake, Mendy
Fernandinho
Mahrez Palmer Knight, Gundogan Edozie

Who ever plays we will win our first trophy of the new season without Arry, who is sunning himself in Florida

He's just soaking in some vitamin D to stave off getting Covid.

This is really bad news

Good thing we bought Grealish.

Good thing we bought Grealish.

He's been pictured travelling with the squad to London.

What is Foden’s injury?

 

[Colin Is The King]

What is Foden’s injury?

I think a foot injury, a carry over from the Euros. I wonder if Southgate was economical with the truth when he said it was a minor one?

 

[Colin Is The King]

I had Bernardo playing, but, with the confirmed disclosure from Pep that he wants to leave, and that Grealish travelled, that they swop?

I missed this - was it in the press conference?

Wouldn’t surprise me - broken bone perhaps?

Yes basically not in these words but Bernardo along with others he didn't name, but only if someone comes up with the valuation of the players, we don't need to sell.

Okie dokie. About time we were in a position to turn away comedy offers.
