Manchester City play their final pre-season fixture of their summer tour of Asia today, facing Atletico Madrid in South Korea. The Blues have drawn with Inter Milan and beaten the K-League All-Stars in their previous two friendlies.
Team News and Khusanov Absence
Abdukodir Khusanov has left the squad due to personal reasons and will not feature. The Uzbek defender has flown home early, with permission, and is expected back in training shortly. Vitor Reis partnered Ruben Dias in training and could earn his first start of the tour.
Preparations and Expectations
City trained in Seoul on Saturday night, with a breeze providing some relief from the sweltering heat that marked their midweek match. They will fly home immediately after the game to prepare for the Community Shield and the new season.
Atletico Madrid beat Getafe in their last summer fixture but lost 2-1 to Manchester United last week. Kick-off in Seoul is at 12noon UK time.
