A week after his signature in Manchester City, Rayan Cherki made his big starts with the training of Pep Guardiola by holding the first meeting against Wydad AC, this Tuesday in Philadelphia (12 noon in Pennsylvania, 6 p.m. in France, live free on Dazn). The French international trained at OL trains the offensive sector of the Cityzens with Omar Marmoush, Jérémy Doku, Savinho and Phil Foden!
Foden has a chance to shine after spending his end of the season on the Mancunian sidelines. The English crack (25), elected best Premier League player last season, did not score in his last 18 games with the Cityzens. He only scored seven goals in the Premier League and three in the Champions League this season. It will be necessary to follow its positioning within this extremely offensive eleven, Doku and Savinho being intended to evolve on the wings of the device. Cherki could evolve in support of Marmoush.
The Catalan coach aligns another recruit with Tijani Reijnders in the middle but not the left side Rayan Ait-Nouri. Vitor Reis, a 19 -year -old Brazilian defender, is established in defense alongside Rico Lewis, Nathan Aké and Nico O'Reilly.
Cherki and Foden holders, Haaland on the bench
Ruben Dias, Josko Gvardiol, Manuel Akanji, Abdukodir Khusanov, Rodri, Nico Gonzalez, Ilkay Gündogan, the new Captain Bernard Silva and therefore Erling Haaland are on the bench for this entry in front of the training of Casablanca. Man City will then face Al Ain and then Juventus in the last group match of this club World Cup.
Note that this group G crosses in the round of 16 with the chicken of Real Madrid (which begins against Al-Hilal in the evening before facing Pachuca and the Red Bull Salzburg).
The starting eleven: Ederson – Lewis, Reis, Aké, O'Reilly – Reijnders – Savinho, Foden, Cherki, Doku – Marmoush.
