Overview
- Pep Guardiola said Trafford will "absolutely" stay at Manchester City through the January window and for the rest of the season.
- Trafford started the Carabao Cup quarter-final against Brentford, kept a clean sheet in a 2-0 win, and City advanced to face Newcastle in the semi-finals.
- The 23-year-old has had limited minutes since Donnarumma’s arrival, with no Premier League start since August and a November omission from England’s squad.
- Tottenham have been linked with Trafford as they assess goalkeeping options due to concerns over Guglielmo Vicario’s form, but City have shut down a mid-season move.
- Guardiola indicated Trafford will feature in cup matches over the coming weeks, while any decision on his longer-term future will wait until after the season.
