Manchester City’s new signing Abdukodir Khusanov has been omitted from the matchday squad for Saturday evening’s Premier League fixture against Brentford. The Citizens need all three points to keep their title hopes alive.
The Uzbek defender, who joined during the winter transfer window, has struggled for regular playing time and continues to be left out of Pep Guardiola’s 18-man selection. Brentford will be led by interim manager Keith Andrews, adding pressure on City as they play at home.
Khusanov’s absence has sparked discussions about his adaptation to the team, though the club has not disclosed any specific reason. City’s defense has been plagued by injuries recently, and the newcomer still finds it difficult to earn opportunities on the pitch.
