Myles Lewis-Skelly paid the price for his lack of game time and now the City man gets his opportunity to stake a claim for a World Cup spot. The 20-year-old now goes into camp having become the latest defender to shut out Mohamed Salah.

And one player that Leeds have on their radar is Nico O'Reilly, who has broken into the Man City first team fold over the course of 2025.
