Recalled Max Alleyne Makes Instant Impact for Manchester City

Injuries to senior centre-backs forced a swift recall from Watford, accelerating his move into Manchester City's first team.

Overview

  • The 20-year-old was brought back after scans confirmed a broken leg for Josko Gvardiol and a hamstring issue for Ruben Dias, with John Stones also unavailable.
  • Following one training session, he made his Premier League debut in Wednesday's 1-1 draw with Brighton.
  • He then scored the opener in Saturday's 10-1 FA Cup win over Exeter at the Etihad Stadium.
  • Pep Guardiola used match footage to introduce his game to the squad, and Nathan Ake has helped guide his integration.
  • Alleyne is temporarily staying at the training complex during a congested schedule and says he intends to make the most of his opportunity.
