Several Manchester City players wanted to know if Enzo Fernandez would join in the last days of the transfer window, says manager Enzo Maresca.
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca discussed his squad's preparation for Saturday's Premier League match against Coventry City at Etihad Stadium. Matheus Nunes is set to return to the team, but Jeremy Doku remains sidelined. Enzo Fernandez, City's £125 million summer signing, is confirmed to be in the squad and praised for his winning mentality, highlighting his World Cup and Club World Cup triumphs.
The Italian forward's arrival pleased several players, with multiple requests to join the team over the past few days.
