Manchester City’s latest addition, a Belgian winger, has joined the team in a significant £55 million transfer.
This acquisition comes as a replacement for Riyad Mahrez, who departed for Al-Ahli earlier in the summer.
The team’s assistant boss, Juanma Lillo, has dropped hints about the new winger’s potential involvement in the upcoming match at Bramall Lane.
Lillo, the assistant coach, expressed optimism about the team’s current level and highlighted the specific qualities of the newly acquired winger.
He emphasized the potential impact the player could have on the team’s performance, indicating that the newcomer’s skills could be a valuable asset.
However, it’s noteworthy that Pep Guardiola, the renowned City manager, will not be on the touchline due to his recent back surgery.
Despite his absence from the physical sidelines, Guardiola remains a strong presence in leading the team, albeit from a distance.
He will be watching the game from Spain, where he is recovering from surgery.
In terms of team selection, Lillo clarified that he will not be in charge of making those decisions for the upcoming match.
He has been in constant communication with Guardiola, ensuring a unified approach to the team’s strategies and tactics.
On the injury front, Bernardo Silva is expected to make a return after missing two games due to illness.
Lillo expressed confidence in Silva’s recovery, stating that he has been training normally and appears to be in good health.
However, Kevin De Bruyne and John Stones will be absent from the squad due to injuries, preventing them from participating in the Sheffield trip.
This absence will undoubtedly impact the team’s dynamics and strategy for the match.
Looking ahead to the predicted Manchester City starting lineup, the XI includes Ederson, Walker, Akanji, Dias, Gvardiol, Rodri, Kovacic, Silva, Alvarez, Grealish, and Haaland.
Notably, De Bruyne and Stones are listed as injured players, while no other players are considered doubtful for the match.
The match is scheduled for 2pm BST on Sunday, August 27, 2023, and the venue is set to be Bramall Lane.
