2024 is here and that also means the return of our Women’s, Elite Development Squad and Under-18s.
While only the latter will see competitive match action this week alongside Pep Guardiola’s side, the other two teams in blue will return to the City Football Academy ahead of their respective season restarts.
Here is all you need to know about the week ahead…
