Here's everything you need to know about Manchester City's pre-season tour squad...

Enzo Maresca has named a 28-man squad for City's tour of Asia. See the full squad here.

A whole host of City's big-name players have not been named in the squad as they are away on a post-World Cup break.

Jack Grealish was in contention to be named in the squad but he misses out due to an injury issue. Grealish posted images on social media on Tuesday of himself in Mallorca. Read the full story here.

Kalvin Phillips has also not been included in the tour squad. Phillips is set to seal a love move to Sheffield United, where he spent the second half of last season on loan, and so has not been named in the travelling party. Read the full story here.

Gianluigi Donnarumma and Phil Foden are two of the big-name stars flying out to Asia with City. Donnarumma and Foden were not involved in the World Cup this summer and so have already reported back for pre-season training.

Plenty of City youngsters will be given the chance to impress, with Jeremy Monga, Kaden Braithwaite, Floyd Samba, Jaden Heskey and Ryan McAidoo among those included in the squad.

The Manchester Evening News' Chief Manchester City Correspondent Simon Bajkowski is over in Asia for this summer's tour and we will be bringing you daily updates and all the coverage of City's tour.
