Manchester City will be without key trio Ilkay Gundogan, Phil Foden and John Stones for the American leg of their pre-season preparations, Sportsmail can reveal.
It is understood the trio have not travelled with Pep Guardiola’s squad to the USA, where they face Club America in Texas on Wednesday before playing Bayern Munich in Green Bay on Saturday, in news that will arrive as a blow to the Premier League champions.
Instead the three absentees are due to fly to another destination in Europe with City’s Under-23s to continue their pre season programme.
There is no confirmation over the reasons why the three players are not travelling.
City aren’t the only club to have seen their summer’s preparations impacted by absent players.
Crystal Palace have taken just 10 outfield players on their tour to Singapore and Australia because some have not ‘met the entry requirements’.
Chelsea duo Ngolo Kante and Ruben Loftus-Cheek were forced to miss the club’s tour of America due to their Covid vaccination status’.
It remains to be seen whether City confirm the reasons behind why the three players haven’t made the trip.
Meanwhile, Oleksandr Zinchenko is set to complete a move to Arsenal - a move first revealed by Sportsmail in May
