Why Sane will get EFL Cup medal despite not playing for Man City vs Villa

  /  autty

Manchester City have ordered extra Carabao Cup medals to recognise players that weren't able to play a part in their Wembley victory over Aston Villa.

Goals from Sergio Aguero and Rodri gave the Blues a hard fought 2-1 victory in the league cup final on Sunday to ensure Pep Guardiola's side won the competition for a third consecutive year.

Both the winners and losers from the showpiece event got 23 medals from the EFL on the day - including for the manager and other coaches - but are allowed to purchase other medals should they wish.

City have ensured that a number of players that were not in the matchday squad at Wembley will receive a medal. They include first team members such as Leroy Sane and Scott Carson that were not in the first team squad, Angelino and Ian Carlo Poveda who have since moved out on loan to RB Leipzig and Leeds respectively, and any academy player that was involved in any round of the competition.
