Manchester City's new signings Omar Marmoush, Vitor Reis and Abdukodir Khusanov will be in the squad for Saturday's league game against Chelsea, boss Pep Guardiola said ahead of the battle between two teams chasing a Champions League spot.

It's been a circuitous route to the top for Omar Marmoush but, at the age of 25, he has finally arrived after a €60m transfer to Manchester City.

A bold new vision for the Champions League was launched this season, meaning more games and more money for European soccer's elite, as well as a rebuttal to the threat of a controversial breakaway super league.

The Champions League is back after a long break and the juiciest matchup on the Week 7 slate features two European giants. Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain, who started the Champions League season with trophy aspirations, are on the brink of getting eliminated in the league stage.

Manchester City’s turbulent season took another major knock on Wednesday after it suffered a calamitous defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League group stage.

Manchester City captain Kyle Walker landed in Italy on Thursday for a medical with AC Milan ahead of an expected transfer. The 34-year-old Walker is City’s long-serving right back. But he told manager Pep Guardiola at the start of the month that he wanted to explore a move abroad.

Manchester City defender Kyle Walker is flying to Milan today (Thursday) to complete his loan move to the Serie A club. As part of the deal, Milan hold an option to make the move permanent in the summer.

Kyle Walker is set to move from Manchester City to Milan after the two clubs agreed terms, sources have told ESPN.
