Manchester City’s travelling squad for our 2019 Asia Tour has been confirmed.
A 26-man playing party flies out to China this weekend where we will play our first two tour games in the Premier League Asia Trophy.
The 2019 Asia Tour then moves on to Hong Kong SAR where Phil Foden, who is still away after representing England in the European Under-21 Championships, will join up with the squad before we then head to Japan for our final tour fixture.
Over the next fortnight, City will play West Ham in the Nanjing Olympic Sports Centre in Nanjing in the Premier League Asia Trophy before moving on to Shanghai where we will contest the final or third place play-off against either Newcastle United or Wolves at the Hongkou Stadium.
City then travel to Hong Kong SAR for a friendly against Kitchee FC at the Hong Kong Stadium before we finally fly to Yokohama in Japan for the tour finale against City Football Group sister club Yokohama F Marinos at the Nissan Stadium.
