With that in mind, there’s no better time to make you aware of some changes to the squad numbers for the forthcoming season.
Aleksandar Kolarov has swapped his no.13 shirt for no.11, allowing new goalkeeper Willy Caballero to take the Serb’s vacated number.
Scott Sinclair may snatch up the vacant no.12 and, back from his season-long loan at PSV, Karim Rekik has accepted no.19 last worn by Samir Nasri in the 2011/12 season.
As already announced, new boy Fernando will be no.6, while Bacary Sagna is no.3.
Available with gold champions badges, free Standard UK delivery on over £65 and free click and collect service to the CityStores on Market Street and at the Etihad Stadium.
The CityStore at the Stadium will operate with extended opening hours on Thursday morning for the kit launch.
We’ll bring you more news on that tomorrow.
