All three of Manchester City's new signings will go straight into their squad for Saturday's Premier League clash against Chelsea. Forward Omar Marmoush and defenders Vitor Reis and Abdukodir Khusanov all arrived at the Etihad Stadium this week as the champions moved to bolster their squad amid an underwhelming campaign.
With injuries continuing to bite, manager Pep Guardiola feels he has little option but to bring the new faces into the reckoning. Asked if the new signings were ready to play, Guardiola said at a press conference: 'Yes. We don't have players. They can play but I don't know (what position) yet.'.
The trio have joined City for combined initial fees of £122.5million. They represent the club's first major moves in a January transfer window for several years and were prompted by a lengthy injury list and unexpected slump in form. Pep Guardiola is set to throw all three of Man City's £122.5m January new boys straight into action.
