Enzo Maresca will address the media ahead of Manchester City's Champions League opener vs Porto
Welcome to Enzo Maresca's Manchester City press conference blog ahead of tomorrow night's Champions League opener vs Porto.
Defeat to Arsenal in Cardiff is a mere distant memory for City after a fantastic start to the Premier League season. Saturday's 1-0 win over Coventry made it three wins from three for the Blues and their new boss.
However, this week things step up a notch. As well as tomorrow's Champions League opener, the Blues travel to fierce rivals Manchester United on Sunday. The next few days are set to be the first major test of Maresca's new squad.
City could be without Nico O'Reilly again in Portugal. He did not train with the squad on Monday and Jeremy Doku was also absent.
The Blues were buoyed by the inclusion of new signing Allan, though. He was not included in the matchday squad at the weekend.
