Here are your Manchester City evening headlines for Wednesday, August 24. Manchester City could be without four players for the charity game with Barcelona as they were not present for a visit to sister club Girona on Tuesday.
City flew straight from Newcastle to Girona on Sunday for some warm-weather training ahead of Wednesday's charity match at the Camp Nou, with manager Pep Guardiola watching Girona's La Liga win on Monday night alongside chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak, and CEO Ferran Soriano.
On Tuesday, Girona shared a video of City's squad and staff joining Girona's squad at their training ground, taking pictures and reuiniting with some familiar faces. Read the full story here. Pep Guardiola says he will use Manchester City's friendly at Barcelona to look at players who haven't played much so far this season, so that should mean a first run-out for new signing Sergio Gomez, who only signed last week and was an unused substitute at Newcastle.
Gomez started his career at Barcelona, so it would be a fitting place for him to make his City debut. The left-back has been signed to support Joao Cancelo, with a friendly game a good chance to see how he's fitting in at the Blues, as well as giving Cancelo a deserved rest.
