Oscar Bobb determined to secure Man City future at Club World Cup

Oscar Bobb is determined to grasp his chance at the Club World Cup and prove he has a future at Manchester City.

The promising Norwegian winger looked set to play a significant role in City’s 2024-25 campaign after building on a positive end to the previous season by impressing on their summer tour.

But his hopes of making a big first-team breakthrough were dashed when he fractured his leg in training last August. After an aborted comeback in February, he did not play again until April.

Now back to full fitness, the 21-year-old has made two substitute appearances in the United States and is determined to establish himself in manager Pep Guardiola’s new-look side.

Guardiola, having already overseen the arrival of four new players this summer, has said some players are likely to leave before the new Premier League season, but Bobb does not plan to be one of them.

Bobb said: “I expect to be here. I think that’s the way I have to look at it and try and impress every chance I get.

“I want to play as much as possible, be decisive and play in the big games.

“It’s a fresh start for me as well as the team and I think from here on out we can just build.

“I think I’m ready now but we’ve got 27 players. If I get a chance to play – it doesn’t matter for how long – I’ll take it.”

City are already assured of a place in the last 16 having won their opening two games in Group G by an aggregate score of 8-0.
