How Man City should line up vs Yokohama F Marinos
23.07.2023 - 05:31 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Just 43 days since Manchester City lifted the Champions League, and they are back in action again.
City take on sister-club Yokohama F Marinos in Tokyo, before facing Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid next week. Pep Guardiola took a 25-man squad to Japan for the tour, leaving Riyad Mahrez out as the Algerian closes in on a permanent exit to Al Ahli.
Kevin De Bruyne looks set to miss out after he did not train with his teammates on Saturday, instead working on an exercise bike at the side of the pitch as he continues to recover from a hamstring injury.
Mateo Kovacic could make his City debut in Tokyo, while Joao Cancelo and Kyle Walker will be in the squad despite doubts over their long-term City futures.

Read how our writers think City should line up and use the interactive team selector below to pick your own starting XI:
This is the weakest team City will face on paper and it is also their first run-out in pre-season so I would give plenty of opportunities to players who don't normally start.
James McAtee and Cole Palmer can show what they can do in their best positions and Sergio Gomez can play alongside an excellent backline.
Kalvin Phillips needs to start backing up his talk right from the off in Japan and it will also do Julian Alvarez no harm to show that he can be more than just a back-up for Erling Haaland. Mateo Kovacic needs minutes if he is to get up to speed with how the City side ticks.Ortega, Walker, Akanji, Laporte, Gomez, Phillips, Kovacic, McAtee, Palmer, Foden, Alvarez
