Manwan: Manchester City is starting to streamline the lineup and will not take all players to the warm-up match this week

August 4 The Manchester Evening News reported that Manchester City is expected to streamline the lineup next, and Guardiola also needs to select players to go to Italy to participate in the warm-up match.

Manchester City players returned to the team one after another last week, and the players returning to training included Gallish and McCarthy. They did not go to the United States to participate in the Club World Cup in June due to personal future issues. Although they are now back to the team, they are willing to wait for a more favorable offer because the club that intends to do the two, and Manchester City will not exclude players who have not been sold, or may not even be sold.

In addition, Rez, Echeviri and new aid Nipan are also in the training roster. These young players originally planned to leave the team on loan this season, but the relevant matters have not been finalized. Among them, Rez's loan to Girona made the most progress. With Trafford's signing and Ortega's departure has not yet been resolved, the goalkeepers on the first team training roster have increased to four.

coach Guardiola previously said that he could not handle the huge lineup as during the Club World Cup, but his team's number has increased, and it is obvious that this situation cannot continue.

This week, Manchester City will go to Palermo to participate in the last friendly match of the preseason. The Manchester Evening News pointed out that Manchester City needs to make a decision on the future of some players. The club is expected to arrange Guardiola to attend the press conference before and after the game, and the coach will update the latest situation of the team's lineup. In fact, from the moment Manchester City boarded the plane and flew to Italy, he had the right to decide not to bring all the players to convey a signal of lineup adjustment.

This will undoubtedly be sad for potential players who fail to play in Palermo, but Manchester City may even adopt a tough stance similar to the Club World Cup: those who are not planned for this season will not be able to board the plane to the away game. This rule applies not only to Gallish and McCarty, but may also include players who plan to leave the team on loan, and may even have some unexpected out-of-scoring situations.

For Manchester City, they still have a lot of work to do in this transfer window to streamline the current overly bloated lineup. New director Viana is working on related matters, and the list of entries heading to Palermo may indicate future adjustments.
