Manchester City head coach Enzo Maresca faces the media today as the Blues prepare to face a K-League XI on Wednesday.
The Blues began the Maresca era with a penalty shootout defeat to Inter Milan in Hong Kong. However, there were plenty of positives for the new boss. Antoine Semenyo was the star player for City in the first half, setting up Divin Mubama for City's only goal. While youngster Ryan McAidoo stole the show in the second half.
Matheus Nunes, Omar Marmoush and Ruben Dias arrived in Asia on Saturday. They made it to Hong Kong too late to feature against Inter, but were on the sidelines to watch the fixture. Maresca should provide an update on who is available today.
Phil Foden could also be on the agenda after he captained City against Inter, as did Rico Lewis. Maresca will likely field questions on transfers too. Rodri remains a key talking point as links to Real Madrid continue.
