City Slickers Gear Up Early: Haaland & Grealish Lead US Tour Charge!
Mark your calendars, City fans! The Etihad is buzzing with anticipation as players return to training in just two weeks. While some will enjoy a well-deserved rest after international duty, Erling Haaland and Jack Grealish are ready to hit the ground running.
These two superstars will be among the first to report back on July 15th. They’ll join Pep Guardiola for a quick pre-season training stint before jetting off to the United States for a four-match tour kicking off on July 19th.
With Guardiola unable to call upon most senior players due to their recent tournament exertions, the tour will be a chance for talented youngsters like Rico Lewis and Oscar Bobb to shine alongside the likes of Haaland and Grealish.
This grueling tour across four states will see City face off against European giants like Celtic, AC Milan, and Barcelona, culminating in a clash against Chelsea in Ohio.
The Blues return home for the Community Shield clash against Manchester United before diving headfirst into their Premier League title defense with a mouthwatering opening match against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
Get ready, City fans, the new season is just around the corner, and Pep Guardiola’s men are wasting no time in ramping up their preparations!
