Micah Hamilton is among six Manchester City youngsters who are in Saudi Arabia with the first team squad this week for the Club World Cup.
City flew out to Jeddah on Saturday night after their Premier League draw with Crystal Palace, and took an official 23-man squad to the Club World Cup including injured trio Kevin De Bruyne, Erling Haaland and Jeremy Doku.
De Bruyne is not expected to play, while Haaland and Doku have been taken as their recovery continues to be managed. They will be assessed on a game-by-game basis.
Now, MEN Sport understands that Pep Guardiola has taken six academy players with the squad on top of the official group of 23.
