Bernardo Silva is expected to sign a new deal at Manchester City to end another summer of speculation over his future.
Man City handed double Nathan Ake boost ahead of new season
28.07.2023 - 21:55 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Nathan Ake has eased concerns over his injury situation, with the defender poised to sign a new contract at Man City.
The Dutch defender limped out of City's 2-1 over Bayern Munich in midweek and remains a doubt ahead of their final pre-season fixture against Atletico Madrid this weekend.
Ake, 28, kept his place in defence for the second summer friendly in Tokyo but was substituted in the first half after going down off the ball and holding the bottom of his leg.
Pep Guardiola stated after the match that his substitution was purely precautionary ahead of the new season, and now the centre-back has moved to ease those concerns himself.

“It’s a tight calf," he told reporters in Seoul. "We will see the next few days, but it’s nothing serious. I’ll be ok next week, for sure.”
Ake's comments suggest he could be recalled when City face Arsenal in the Community Shield a week on Sunday, though it seems unlikely he'll be risked in the final friendly against Atletico.
His injury news is the second boost for Guardiola's side, with the defender expected to sign a new contract before they return to Manchester.
The Manchester Evening News understands Ake, who already has two years remaining on his current deal, has agreed to sign up for another two years, keeping him at the club until 2027.
